Fusion has trouble working on Windows

[johnRivs]

I came across the same issue someone had when trying to install FusionCasts.

Error retrieving config: spawnSync php ENOENT

Reason

On Windows, Herd creates a .bat file that points to the selected PHP executable.

> where php
C:\Users\John\.config\herd\bin\php.bat

> cat C:\Users\John\.config\herd\bin\php.bat
@echo off
"C:\Users\John\.config\herd\bin\php83\php.exe" %*

This seems to prevent Node from spawning a PHP process.

Workaround

I added some code to find the actual PHP executable in packages\vue\vite.js and packages\vue\Transformer.js.

function findPhpExecutableOnWindows() {
  try {
    let whereResult = spawnSync('where', ['php'], { encoding: 'utf8' });

    if (whereResult.error || whereResult.status !== 0) {
      console.error('Could not find PHP using where command:', whereResult.error || whereResult.stderr);

      return null;
    }

    let phpPath = whereResult.stdout.split('\n')[0].trim();

    if (phpPath.toLowerCase().endsWith('.bat')) {
      let batContent = fs.readFileSync(phpPath, 'utf8'),
          phpExeMatch = batContent.match(/"([^"]+\\php(?:\d+)?\\php\.exe)"/);

      if (phpExeMatch && phpExeMatch[1]) {
        return phpExeMatch[1];
      } else {
        console.error('Could not extract PHP executable path from batch file');

        return null;
      }
    } else {
      return phpPath;
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error finding PHP executable:', error);

    return null;
  }
}

function getPhpExecutable() {
  if (os.platform() === 'win32') {
    return findPhpExecutableOnWindows() || 'php';
  } else {
    return 'php';
  }
}

Why not a PR?

My workaround is:

• Way too hacky.
• Very specific (Herd)
• I don't know where else this would be needed.

Also, I couldn't get Fusion to work in the end. Once I visited /, this is what I got in the console.
