This is my demo code from this repo
`
const pingman = require('pingman');

(async () => {
try {
const response = await pingman('127.0.0.1');
console.log(response);
if(response.alive){
//=>if pinged ip is available and responds
}
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
//=> 'Internal server error ...'
}
})();
`

when i run " browserify index.js > bundle.js",
the error is as shown :
Error: Can't walk dependency graph: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'D:\codes\net_stat\process'
required by D:\codes\net_stat\node_modules\pingman\dist\src\builder\windows.js.

please.
thanks in advance.

The error is as follows

I understand this is written with TypeScript and I tried going into the node module and building myself but then it says it can't find tsconfig.json. I am not using TypeScript in this project.

Is there a way to fix this?

We are planning to drop support for node versions:

• 10.x.x
• 12.x.x

Our minimum version will be node 14.x.x.

It would be great to hear if the community feels like there might be an issue to dropping these versions.

Since Travis ci stopped unlimited builds, we need to migrate the project to Github Actions. Readme needs to be updated too to reflect this change.

When using short subdomains (E.G. i.test.example.com), calling ping will incorrectly throw an error with Given IP address is not valid.

Likely due to a too-strict regex in validateIp.

Example:

try {
    await ping('i.test.example.com') // will throw "ipError: Given IP address is not valid"
}
catch(err) {
    console.error(err)
}

As per PR #12 , we moved the hostname to the last argument on the ping command on linux.

I propose we do the same for Mac so as to maintain uniformity between the UNIX platforms.

All we need to do is follow the steps as in #12.

• Move hostname to last argument in src/builder/mac.ts
• Adjust the tests in test/builder/builder.ts

I'll take this up once i get the time. Anyone who wants to work on this on the meantime, can comment here if you want a more detailed idea about what we're trying to achieve.

As per PR #12 and PR #20 , we moved the hostname to the last argument on the ping command on unix systems.

I propose we do the same for Windows as well so we can maintain a uniform standard across platforms.

All we need to do is follow the steps as in #12 or #20 .

• Move ip to last argument in src/builder/windows.ts
• Adjust the tests in test/builder/builder.ts

We currently have 99% test coverage which isn't bad, but could be better.

All tests are run with ava which enables concurrent execution.
The files currently missing a test are ping.ts and index.ts, which need to be mocked in order to test without having any over the network calls.

Other than this, even other tests or patterns are welcome. First-timers are welcome to give unit testing a try and we can discuss ideas if you have any.

In below sample, both hosts 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.100 are reachable,

var ping = require('pingman');

async function test_pingman() {
    let pings = [];
    const hosts = ['192.168.1.1','192.168.1.100'];
    for (const host of hosts) {
        pings.push(ping(host));
    }

    const responses = await Promise.allSettled(pings);
    for(const response of responses) {
        console.log(response);
    }
}

test_pingman();

It appears results are getting mixed up.

With the iputils alpine package installed, this module still does not work.

Looking at the log.txt it seems that the command being executed is ping <host> -c 4. The alpine version of the ping command requires the host be the last command argument.

Tested on Debian/Ubuntu and Gentoo, changing the host to be the last argument is compatible with more full-featured distros.
