Should I change env vars to use the npm script under Cygwin in Windows?

Question

Should I change env vars to be able to use npm script under Cygwin in Windows?

When attempting to use the npm script under Cygwin in Windows, I receive the following error:

module.js:339
    throw err;
     ^
 Error: Cannot find module '/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/npm/isparta'
     at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:337:15)

     at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:467:10)
     at startup (node.js:136:18)

I use node v4.2.2 with npm 2.14.7.

I ran the following command:

babel-node `which isparta` cover --include 'lib/**/*.js' _mocha -- 'test/**/*.spec.js' --reporter spec --ui tdd --recursive

I have installed successfully isparta, babel-node:

Sparta from cygwin terminal:

$ which isparta
/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/npm/isparta

Sparta from windows cmd:

C:\Users>where isparta
C:\ProgramData\npm\isparta
C:\ProgramData\npm\isparta.cmd

babel-node from cygwin terminal:

$ which babel-node
/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/npm/babel-node

babel-node from windows cmd:

C:\Users>where babel-node
C:\ProgramData\npm\babel-node
C:\ProgramData\npm\babel-node.cmd

You have to convert Cygwin pathname to windows one, because apparently babel-node expects windows pathname:

babel-node `cygpath -w $(which isparta)` cover...
