shell_cmd": "taskkill /F /IM node.exe & node $file not working with Sublime Text 3 on Windows 7

[leem32]

The line in sublime-build "shell_cmd": "taskkill /F /IM node.exe & node $file" is causing an error ERROR: The process "node.exe" not found..

If I comment out the taskkill line the error disappears.

I've added "node_command": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" in user sublime-settings.

How can I fix this??

{
  "cmd": ["node", "$file"],
  "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
  "selector": "source.js",
  "shell": true,
  "encoding": "cp1252",
  "windows":
    {
        "shell_cmd": "taskkill /F /IM node.exe & node $file"
    },
    "linux":
    {
        "shell_cmd": "killall node; /usr/bin/env node $file"
    },
    "osx":
    {
        "shell_cmd": "killall node; /usr/bin/env node $file"
    }
}

I just had this problem again and found this question from a Google search that I'd forgot I had written lol.

I fixed this issue by adding the path to node.exe in the nodejs.sublime-build file.

  "windows":
    {
        "shell_cmd": "taskkill /F /IM C:/Program\ Files/nodejs/node.exe & node $file"

The backslash is to escape the space. It bugs out without the backslash.

I don't understand why sublime text nodejs.sublime-build can't find node.exe because it's in my PATH and it works from the command line. Anyway, that fixes the problem.
