I have a simple function to run git update-index.

exports.gitUpdateIndex = (path, pattern) => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const error = [];
    const opt = {
      cwd: path
    };
    const process = spawn("git", ["update-index", "--chmod=+x", pattern], opt);
    process.on("close", () => {
      if (error.length > 0) {
        reject(error);
      }
      resolve();
    });
    process.stderr.on("data", data => error.push(data.toString().trim()));
  });
};

And I am trying to call it like -

await gitUpdateIndex(dirPath, "./*.sh");

But this is throwing an error like -

[
  "Ignoring path *.sh\nfatal: git update-index: cannot chmod +x '*.sh'"
]

EDIT:

Seems like passing the absolute path to the function fixes it instead of an unix glob pattern.

await gitUpdateIndex(dirPath, "C:\\test\\hello.sh");
