Hi everyone

I have made an app that uses Shell to run scripts and return values. The launcher on DESKTOP only works if I mark "Run in terminal"
It seems it is depending on a terminal attached to work.
If I mark Run on terminal or open it from a terminal, it works correctly.
The Desktop laucher without "Run in terminal" does not work totally and I confirmed it is related with Shell commands in my code that returns empty in this situation

Some clues to solve it ?

Regards

Problem SOLVED !

I discover the problem was related with the command itself that was run on Shells

Basically one script could receive the "param" from command line OR from pipe (accepts both)

In terminal both work:
$ oneapp arg1
$ echo arg1 | oneapp

But in gambas I will have to use only PIPE to work always.


But via PIPE works always.

some commands can return the text to stderr not stdout.

you can simply re-direct stderr to stdout using 2>&1

like this…


Some programs (like ffmpeg) need a terminal and require a proper input/output handler.

that can be handled like this..

 Thank you man
Nice

 I didn't know this Wait, seems important

 I tested your first suggestion and didn't work.
The funny is that on the IDE it runs, as my original code too.

Pipe someways save from problems.

Hope this help others. Use pipe if possible

Mistery off

I finally found the problem.

If you use ARGV to pass to python and this python program also checks STDIN (pipe), it generates the conflict with gambas.

If a python script checks the state of pipe (stdin) I can not pass values only via command line in gambas, because when python checks stdin the conflict occurs. The terminal solves the "STDIN hunger" of python allowing the ARGV free to work with gambas.

To use only command line args I would have to stop this PIPE checking in python. So I decided to send always with pipe allowing the python have both ways.

In other words:
If a program has PIPE support (stdin), you have to use this method when passing values from gambas, or it wil "ask for a terminal".

Now the desktop launcher works too, even without terminal.

cool
