How to run copyfiles synchronously?

[nangalvivek]

I am trying to copy some files after in a post-install script using the following code

const mappings = [{
  name:"",
  mappings: {
     from: "", to: "", up: 2
  }
}];
mappings
    .forEach(({ name, mappings: fileMappings }) => {
        process.chdir(dirname); // derived from name
        console.log("-- chdir ", dirname);
        fileMappings.forEach(({ from, to, up }) => {
            to = path.resolve(rootDir, to);
            copyfiles([from, to], {
                up: up || 0,
                verbose: true,
            }, (result) => {
                console.log(result);
            })
            console.log("-- copy files successful");
        });
    })

From the logs it appears that the copyfiles function executes asynchronously and copies all the files at the end. Since, I am changing the directory with each mapping, the last directory gets picked up for all the mappings. Is there a way to force copyfiles to run synchronously?

there is not, you could try promisifying this module and rewriting your stuff to to use async/await
