Why does Shipit try to use rm command to delete file on windows?

[obriankevin11]

IMO it should use del command. How can I change that?

Running "mkdir -p /var/www/<hidden>/releases/20201021130855" on host "<hidden>".
Release path created.
Copy project to remote servers.
"copy" method is deprecated, please use "copyToRemote", "copyFromRemote", "scpCopyToRemote" or "scpCopyFromRemote". It will break in v5.0.0.

Monkey patch for Windows users who don't want to install rsync:

1. Add the following task:

shipit.blTask('fix-win', () => {
    shipit.pool.connections.forEach((connection) => {
        const { runLocally } = connection;
        connection.runLocally = function(cmd, options) {
            if(!cmd.startsWith('ssh')) {
                cmd = cmd.replace(/ rm /g, ' del /s /q ');
            }
            return runLocally.call(this, cmd, options);
        }
    });
});

2. Make sure to apply patch when you call shipit env deploy

shipit.on('deploy', () => {
    return shipit.start(['fix-win']);
});
