Serve not working in Ubuntu 16.04 64bit about serve

[cschweda]

Yep. Installed xclip -- and all is well:

cschweda@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install xclip

Then:

cschweda@ubuntu:~$ serve

And everything works fine:

I confirm this bug. I'm running Ubuntu without a VM.

$ serve -v
3.3.1

For some reason, npm start works on this project. No clue what's different beyond being used as an npm script.

[cschweda]

Yep -- this works when run via npm -- but not on the Ubuntu command line.

In package.json:

  "start": "serve ./dist --static",

Then:

cschweda@ubuntu$ npm run start

Works as expected. Server starts -- keeps running -- and pages are served fine.

However:

cschweda@ubuntu$ serve ./dist --static

Doesn't work. Simply goes right back to the command line.

cschweda@ubuntu$ serve -v
3.3.1

I can confirm this issue on Void Linux with serve 3.3.1.

[disquisition]

Testing this out, it looked like the issue was that when on Linux and xclip isn't installed, the copy-paste package can raise a SIGPIPE when it attempts to copy to the clipboard. The reason there's no error is that the process seems to terminate before the error lister has a chance to fire.

(Still not sure why this isn't a problem when you run serve via $ npm run start...)

[cubodehelio]

serve -v
3.4.0

Stop working in Linux Mint 17.2 after update. It just get back to the console with no output at all.

[cschweda]

Did you try installing xclip as mentioned above?

sudo apt-get install xclip

Thanks @cschweda yes, that solves the problem sorry.
