node.js - Nodejs nexpect: Get all output lines -

i have simple case want use nexpect list files in folder, , add expect() functionality later.

nexpect.spawn("ls -la /etc")         .run(function (err, output, exit) {             res.send(output);         });

as result, 1 line:

lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11 oct 2 21:42 /etc -> private/etc

my expectation of /etc, since output defined "output {array} array of lines of output examined" (https://github.com/nodejitsu/nexpect).

as side question: nexpect recommendable of today (since hasn't been updated in year)?

it's because on mac, , /etc symlink. try adding /:

nexpect.spawn("ls -la /etc/") .run(function (err, output, exit) { res.send(output); });
