Error spawn EINVAL when running grunt --brands=adapted-from-phet in the final step of documentation

[WajahatKanju]

Description:
Following the steps outlined in the documentation under "Quick Start," I encountered an error at the final step when running grunt --brands=adapted-from-phet. The error details are as follows:
Running "lint-all" task [ ] 0.00%Error running ESLint: spawn EINVAL Fatal error: Perennial task failed: Error: spawn EINVAL at ChildProcess.spawn (node:internal/child_process:421:11) at spawn (node:child_process:761:9) at D:\Desktop\tes\chipper\js\grunt\lint.js:121:20 at new Promise (<anonymous>) at runEslint (D:\Desktop\tes\chipper\js\grunt\lint.js:105:10) at lint (D:\Desktop\tes\chipper\js\grunt\lint.js:186:27) at D:\Desktop\tes\chipper\js\grunt\Gruntfile.js:360:35 at Object.<anonymous> (D:\Desktop\tes\chipper\js\grunt\Gruntfile.js:92:13) at thisTask.fn (D:\Desktop\tes\example-sim\node_modules\grunt\lib\grunt\task.js:70:16) at Object.<anonymous> (D:\Desktop\tes\example-sim\node_modules\grunt\lib\util\task.js:294:30)
Steps to Reproduce:

1. Clone the necessary repositories:
   git clone https://github.com/phetsims/assert.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/axon.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/babel.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/brand.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/chipper.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/dot.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/example-sim.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/joist.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/kite.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/perennial.git perennial-alias git clone https://github.com/phetsims/phet-core.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/phetcommon.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/phetmarks.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/query-string-machine.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/scenery.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/scenery-phet.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/sherpa.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/sun.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/tambo.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/tandem.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/twixt.git git clone https://github.com/phetsims/utterance-queue.git
2. Install development dependencies:
   cd chipper npm install cd ../perennial-alias npm install cd ../example-sim npm install
   3.Transpile the code:
   cd ../chipper/ node js/scripts/transpile.js --watch
3. Start an HTTP server in a new terminal/command prompt.
4. Open the simulation in the browser: http://localhost/example-sim/example-sim_en.html.
5. Build the simulation:
   cd ../example-sim grunt --brands=adapted-from-phet

Expected Behavior:
The simulation should build without errors.

Actual Behavior:
The process fails with the following error:

Error running ESLint: spawn EINVAL Fatal error: Perennial task failed: Error: spawn EINVAL

Thank you for the thorough report. I will look into this. In the mean time, can you add --lint=false to the grunt command. It should get around this problem for a build to help get you started.

This may be related to #359, which has a recommended fix.

[zepumph]

Yes thanks, fix will be committed over in #359

@WajahatKanju, I believe that everything has been fixed. Can you please git pull in perennial-alias and chipper, and see if things are working for you now?
