Execute child.stdout.on before child.on("exit")

[orbatschow]

var shell = require('shelljs');

var child = shell.exec('node --version', {silent:true, async:true});

child.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

child.on("exit", function(code) {
    console.log(code);
});

child.on("error", function (error) {
console.log(error);
});

The output of this command is :

0
v1.0.4

What do i have to do, to make shelljs return all data immediately and before on exit is executed ?

child.stdout.on('data', stuff);
child.stdout.on('end', otherStuff);

Everything is now printed in the correct order, but end is always undefined:

child.stdout.on('end', function(end) {
    console.log(end);
});

var code;
child.on('exit', function(c) {
    code = c;
});
child.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});
child.stdout.on('end', function() {
    console.log(code);
});

@devtristan this now results in undefined. end is triggered before exit.

This gives me the correct output with exit code:

var child = shell.exec(cmd, {async: true, silent: true});
var output = "";

child.on('exit', function(c) {
    console.log(output);
    console.log('Exit code is ' + c);
});

child.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
    if (!!data)
        output += data;
});

@Synturas @kevin-smets is this resolved now?

Assuming this is fixed (we did a heavy refactor of exec())
