Issue with npm script not running on Windows OS

[leepowelldev]

Hi. We have the latest version of this plugin running on our webpack 5 config:

// webpack.config.js

new WebpackShellPlugin({
  onBuildStart: {
    scripts: ['npm run generateTypedCss'],
    blocking: true,
    parallel: false
  }
}),

// package.json

"scripts": {
  "generateTypedCss": "tcm Content/scripts"
}

And it runs fine on Mac OS, however on Windows OS it doesn't run the npm script. We get the 'Executing pre-build scripts', but then it goes straight into the webpack build with no output. On Mac OS we get the full output of typed-css-modules.

I don't suppose you have any ideas on what could be happening? There's no errors, and no other logging to give us an idea of what the issue is.

Also tried with:

scripts: [`npx typed-css-modules ${path.resolve(__dirname, publicPath)}`]

And that did not work either

hello!
try 2.2.2.
Added some fixes and error logging.
if it doesn't help, enable safe: true

 new WebpackShellPlugin({
      safe: true,

Thanks. I’ll give it a go.
