I had similar problems getting Photoshop to launch and run a script from node as a child process. I was working on a Windows system with Adobe CS6 at the time and was able to get this working by writing a powershell script to launch photoshop with args to execute an ExtendScript file, and then used child-process.exec to run that powershell script from node.
powershell:
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" -ArgumentList "C:\Scripts\MyScript.jsx" -Wait
node:
function runPowershell(path) {
var spawn = require("child_process").exec, child;
child = spawn(`powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ${path} -NoExit`);
child.stdout.on("data", function (data) {
console.log("Powershell Data: " + data);
});
child.stderr.on("data", function (data) {
console.log("Powershell Errors: " + data);
});
child.on("exit", function () {
console.log("Powershell Script finished");
});
child.stdin.end(); //end input
}
runPowershell("path/to/powershellScript.ps1");
