Description
I am just reporting a bug I experienced on windows when trying the new experimental tools of the angular/cli mcp server.
On the latest angular/cli 21.1.2 when using the mcp server with experimental tools like modernize or build the mcp server fails to run the "ng" command on windows.
I don't experience any issues on linux systems.
The ng command is working fine in cmd or powershell with local or global angular/cli installation.
I asked my AI agent for feedback on the actual error and i got this :
{
"status": "failure",
"logs": [
"Process failed with error: spawn ng ENOENT"
]
}
It seems to be related to the spawn method not working properly on windows when shell option is set to false.
I hope it helps.
Minimal Reproduction
Use experimental tools with the angular/cli mcp server that involves the ng command with spawn (like modernize or build) on windows.
Exception or Error
{
"status": "failure",
"logs": [
"Process failed with error: spawn ng ENOENT"
]
}
