I'm testing tidesdk.
I have a java program that reads from standard input.
I run the program through the console console
java -cp MyProgram.jar package.MyMainClass
And then execute commands and get results.
there any way to do with tidesdk?
Edit:
The problem was that calls the java program with a list of one element (which contained the command separated by spaces)
It solved with passing every word to a item of list (and removing the spaces).
Right now I have porblemas to write standard input. This is what I'm trying.
var input = Ti.Process.createPipe();
var process = Ti.Process.createProcess({
args:['java', '-cp', 'C:/.../MyProgram.jar', 'package.MyMainClass'],
stdin: input
});
//process.setOnReadLine(function(line) { alert(line) });
process.launch();
input.write("comand parameter1 parameter2\n"); //This line does not work
The java program starts. But never gets a command.
Checkout Documentation of Ti.Process.createProcess. That is exactly what you are looking for:

I am trying to run a piece of Python code via a Java application. The command when put directly into Command Prompt cd'd to the working directory runs exactly as intended. However, my attempts to use the Runtime and ProcessBuilder classes in conjunction with the Process class has yielded no sign of correct function which would be the creation of a CSV file for every call of the code.
I am running this program using Intellij on Windows 10. I have added each directory I am using to my environmental PATH variable as well as attempting full paths in my commands and just file names. The only source of life I can find is that if I include a .waitFor() method a .isAlive() method will return true before the .waitFor() method is called.
I have searched through various similar questions and concluded that using a ProcessBuilder object is the best way to go and that the biggest issue is probably the structure of my command. However, I have made many iterations and have found nothing that changes the caught error to anything useful.
Here is the privacy augmented code that I have been running, I wrote out the command in full in the process builder as that is the last iteration I have attempted.
for (int y = 1; y < iterator; y++) {
try {
String command =
"C:\\Users\\myName\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python37\\python C:\\Users\\myName\\IdeaProjects\\projectApplication\\script.py ";
String pythonInputPath = " C:\\Users\\myName\\IdeaProjects\\projectApplication\\bin\\output" + y + ".wav ";
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command+Arrays.toString(pythonCommandString).replaceAll("\\s","")+pythonInputPath+Integer.toString(y));
Process p = pb.start();
//Process checks
System.out.println(p.isAlive());
p.waitFor();
System.out.println(p.isAlive());
//Destroying process once complete to ensure smooth iterations
p.destroy();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Problems with python script execution: " + ex);
}
}
They python code takes in a WAV file (pythonInputPath) that is a product of earlier part of the application, an Integer[] that usually includes ~20 values (pythonCommandString), and a single iteration integer (y).
The first call to .isAlive() is true and the second is false as expected however the script normally creates a CSV that should be output to a bin file that exists in the working director and that fails to occur when running from Java. From other examples I expected using the Process builder as opposed to the Runtime stream to work, however, there is no difference in my implementation.
Do not concatenate the program with its arguments. Quoting Oracle ProcessBuilder docs
Each process builder manages these process attributes: a command, a
list of strings which signifies the external program file to be
invoked and its arguments, if any
and
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("myCommand", "myArg1", "myArg2");
Just use the constructor you use, but pass each argument as a separate string, otherwise the OS will try to find an application that is named as a whole command line you gave, and obviously there is no such program
When I tried to run Ansible with Runtime.getRuntime().exec with Java
Here is what I did:
String[] cmd = {"ansible-playbook", "/path/to/playbook", "--extra-vars", "'{\"filePath\":\"/path/to/file\"}'"};
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd, null);
I got error message like this:
FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'filePath' is undefined"}
However when I executed the same command with terminal:
ansible-playbook /path/to/playbook --extra-vars '{"filePath":"/path/to/file"}'
Everything was fine...
I think there must be some differences between the command I ran in terminal and Java, maybe apostrophe or quotation mark ?
I'm wondering is there any way to get the real executed command of Runtime.getRuntime().exec? Just like I can get command line history of some user by history...
You are adding additional quotes in your third parameter:
"'{\"filePath\":\"/path/to/file\"}'"
If you do this, you're not executing the same command in your shell as you have above. You're actually executing (in bash):
ansible-playbook /path/to/playbook --extra-vars ''\''{"filePath":"/path/to/file"}'\'''
You don't need the single quotes around the value here: because you're passing these values directly, you don't have to worry about the quoting that you'd have to do in a shell. You can simply use:
"{\"filePath\":\"/path/to/file\"}"
Here is a piece of code to read user input using Scanner.
Scanner inner = new Scanner(System.in);
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Test");
logger.info("Before");
int a = inner.nextInt();
logger.info("After");

When I use ant to run a java task and excute my code(with "fork=true"), the program get stuck after printing "Before". I can input anything but the "After" never get printed.
However, when using command line java:
java -cp build/BoxBugRunner.jar:lib/gridworld.jar com.perqin.boxbugrunner.BoxBugRunner
the input is accepted and everything works fine.
It seems that System input cannot be access when using ant to run java program, so how to solve this problem?
Instead of using System.in you should:
Split your program in the part before and after the input. In the build script execute the first part, then get the input via the Ant input task, and finally execute the second part with the entered parameters.
Or write your your program as Ant task that delegates to the Ant input task for prompting for input.
So I'm creating a Java program and I want to make it so that you can ask it to open a program.
But, here's the catch, I want the program it opens to be taken from the user input, right now I'm trying to change this
try{Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad.exe");}
catch(Exception e1){}
Into something that opens a program that you asked it to open.
Here's an example of what I want:
User: Can you open chrome?
Program: Of course, here you go!
chrome opens
Could anyone tell me how I would be able to do this?
You can do it in two ways:
1.By Using Runtime:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...)
So, for example, on Windows,
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\application.exe -arg1 -arg2");
2.By Using ProcessBuilder:
ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("C:\application.exe", "-arg1", "-arg2");
or alternatively
List<String> params = java.util.Arrays.asList("C:\application.exe", "-arg1", "-arg2");
ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder(params);
or
ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("C:\application.exe -arg1 -arg2");
The difference between the two is :
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...)
takes a single string and passes it directly to a shell or cmd.exe process. The ProcessBuilder constructors, on the other hand, take a varargs array of strings or a List of strings, where each string in the array or list is assumed to be an individual argument.
So,Runtime.getRuntime.exec() will pass the line C:\application.exe -arg1 -arg2 to cmd.exe, which runs a application.exe program with the two given arguments. However, ProcessBuilder method will fail, unless there happens to be a program whose name is application.exe -arg1 -arg2 in C:.
You can try it with like. Pass whole path of where you install chrome.
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");
}
catch(Exception e1){
}
When using exec, it is essentially the same as if you were using the command line on windows. Open Command Prompt, type open, and see if it gives details as to how it opens files. If not, find the opener. Usually when dealing with command line operations, there are multiple parameters that are required for opening files/applications. An example of this would be for opening the "TextEdit.app" application on a mac.
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("open -a TextEdit.app");
Terminal(for mac) would open the app using the -a flag, meaning "application." You could open a file doing:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("open filename.file_ext -a TextEdit.app");
The second one will tell the computer to find the application named <app_name>.app and open the file filename.file_ext
I know this is not going to work for a windows machine, but it's only to show how to use the command line operations for opening files and applications. It should be similar for windows though.
Hope this helps
I know that by using the command in the terminal
date --set="2011-12-07 01:20:15.962"
you would actually be able to change the System clock, so I tried it in Java and came up with the following statement
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("date --set=\"2011-12-07 01:20:15.962\"");
but it was not able to set the clock.
Do you have any idea guys how it may be able work?
Premise:
The machine is Slackware,
The privilege is root level
There are two problems with this line of code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("date --set=\"2011-12-07 01:20:15.962\"");
You did not wait for the process to complete (see also http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Process.html#waitFor())
Parameters should be separated from program name, try this:
"date", "-s", "2011-12-07 01:20:15.962"
Alternatively, invoke shell as the process, and pass in a line of code:
.exec("sh", "-c", "date --set=\"2011-12-07 01:20:15.962\"")
Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"date","--set","2011-12-07 01:20:15.962"});
The above statement worked like magic. #Howard Gou was right with "Parameters should be separated from program name"
The parts of the command statement should be passed by using a String array.
