I'm getting an error "sh: 1: Bad substitution"

when running `npm start`

[saroyanm, 2018/02/07 12:08:16]

Bash version -> "4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)"

[saroyanm, 2018/02/07 14:02:04]

I've updated to  4.4.0(1)-release but still same issue, can you please confirm
that @Thomas can you please confirm that you are using the latest patch ?

Note: "start": "http-server '${@:2}'"
Fixes the issue for me.

OK this is an issue with npm using sh, not bash, and sh in macOS has backslashes
inconsistencies compared to Linux.

The "force bash" way to go is to pass:
bash -c \"http-server ${@:2}\"
but this becomes an ugly indirection of just http-server

Thomas suggested we just pass along arguments through -- as in:

npm start -- -p 5000

which is fine.

I am updating script and documentation about this.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sounds good, thanks.
