glob pattern string required

[maliyshock]

Hey everyone. Have this issue on my windows system. This issue does not apper on nix - based systems.

I`ve installed postcss and postcss-cli, cause i need to run npm scripts from terminal.
So, my package.json looks like this http://joxi.ru/4AkvbE1fMzeaj2
U can see the error on screenshot higher.
When i remove this part "| postcss --use autoprefixer --autoprefixer.browsers 'last 2 versions'" - all is work fine, but without autoprefixier - so this is sad. Can u help me with that?

I can't see your screenshot. Can you paste your package.json here?

On mac - all works fine. The proplem exist on windows, may be this is particular case

[RyanZim]

OK, I think the issue is at https://github.com/postcss/postcss-cli/blob/master/index.js#L87. postcss-cli calls globby even if there are no files specified. In your case, you passing the css through stdin, and for some reason that causes an error.

If my hunch is correct, this is a bug (though I can't test on windows; it works on linux). I'll try to make a patch soon.

@maliyshock OK, try this:

In your repository, run:

npm uninstall postcss-cli
npm install ryanzim/postcss-cli#3951bd28676ba02d80d45e64cf6240e04f15a9aa

Try running your script again and see if it throws an error. Report your findings here.

Delete node_modules and run npm install to get your project back to where you started.

Thanks. So i have bought a mac, and now i have no any problems with that bug))

[RyanZim]

@maliyshock Can you close this? Thanks!

--autoprefixer.browsers options are not supported in v3. Also, please place your input filename first in the command.

Use a config file.
