A "streamdeck pack" command in a Windows command file terminates the command file

[GuruGurra]

Version:

1.7.1

Command(s):

No response

Description:

When running the command "streamdeck pack ..." in a Windows command file, the command file is terminated when the pack command finishes, instead of continuing with the next command in the file.

Example command file:

streamdeck pack se.trevligaspel.midi.sdPlugin
pause

The expected behavior is that the command file would pause when the pack command finishes; instead, the command window closes. (If it matters: the command file execution is started by double-clicking the command file in the File Explorer.

Operating system:

Windows 11 25H2

Node.js version:

v24.13.0

Stream Deck version:

This is caused due to how npm installs global CLI tools, whereby it generates a Window wrapper CMD file that handles executing the tool. When this is invoked within another CMD file (such as in this scenario) it is treated as a transfer of control. This can be fixed by prefixing the call with CALL, for example:

CALL streamdeck pack se.trevligaspel.midi.sdPlugin
pause
