I am trying to execute some line using node js child process and getting error. Following is my code:

let cmd : string = "code " + PROJECTS[value];
exec(cmd, function callback(error, stdout, stderr) {
  console.log("started console app");
});

ERROR :

code:1
killed:false

try a simpler example ..

var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var cmd = 'code C:\Program Files';
exec(cmd, function(err, stdout, stderr) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
console.log(stdout); 
});

does this work??
