Hi team, 

How do i run any commands in command prompt or terminal from a plugin. Like,  creating directory(mkdir folder) or cloning any repo(git clone), or any kind of commands which can run on terminal.

 

I have tried this code. but getting errros such as no such file or directory while i am creating but it is saying error=2, No such file or directory

ArrayList<String> cmds = new ArrayList<>();
            cmds.add("mkdir testing");

            GeneralCommandLine commandLine = new GeneralCommandLine(cmds);
            commandLine.setCharset(Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
            commandLine.setWorkDirectory("/Users/sainikhilk/Desktop/");

            ProcessHandler processHandler = new OSProcessHandler(commandLine);
            processHandler.startNotify();
            System.out.println("done");


Is this the correct way or is there any better approach to use ? Thanks

Looking at the JavaDoc of the GeneralCommandLine class:

Main idea of the class is to accept parameters "as-is", just as they should look to an external process, and quote/escape them
as required by the underlying platform - so to run some program with a "parameter with space" all that's needed is
{@code new GeneralCommandLine("some program", "parameter with space").createProcess()}.

So "mkdir testing" is not a correct way to handle it.

To execute the command and read the output, you may use

ExecUtil.execAndReadLine(GeneralCommandLine commandLine)

ExecUtil.execAndReadLine(GeneralCommandLine commandLine) seem work, 

 

but while execute command like  ‘sudo   cmd xxx ',  it require input something,  how to avoid this input step ? if possible automatic fill something
