startProcess method

Future<Process> startProcess({ required String executable, required List<String> arguments, })

Starts a process with the given executable and arguments. Throws a ProcessException if the process fails.

Implementation

Future<Process> startProcess({
  required String executable,
  required List<String> arguments,
}) async {
  try {
    final process = await Process.start(executable, arguments);
    if (await process.exitCode == 0) {
      return process;
    } else {
      final error = await process.stderr
          .transform(const Utf8Decoder(allowMalformed: true))
          .join();

      throw ProcessException(
        executable,
        arguments,
        error,
      );
    }
  } catch (e) {
    throw ProcessException(
      executable,
      arguments,
      e.toString(),
    );
  }
}
