Issue with running Hugo using NPM scripts

[hugo-sid]

Hi Joe. First of all, thank you for creating this great tool.

I am using HVM for a Hugo project.

I also have the following in package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "dev": "hugo server --navigateToChanged --gc"
  }

When I run npm run dev, I get the following error:

> hugo server --navigateToChanged --gc

sh: 1: hugo: not found

However, if I run hugo server --navigateToChanged --gc directly in the terminal, it works perfectly fine.

It would be great if HVM worked with npm run *, since I will not have to remember lengthy options (like --navigateToChanged).

In which file did you place the alias function?

[hugo-sid]

~/.bashrc

I suspect npm run foo uses the Bourne (or some other) shell not Bash, so it doesn't see the aliases. See:
https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v9/using-npm/config#script-shell

Upon further review and research, this may not be possible without creating a separate script that npm can call directly, and that's not something I'm going to spend any time on. Moving this to discussions.

Thank you Joe, for your efforts.

Since you use npm, I would recommend using hugo-extended or hugo-bin.
