[Gambas-user] Running programs from terminal and by double clicking.

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Hi!
Strange problem. For some reason I'm not able to start child processes if
the parent program is launched by double clicking.
This is very specific issue. Firstly child program must be made with
gambas, and it must be evoked with certain command.

Here is code (also ready project is attached) to test the problem:

Private hProcess As Process

Public Sub Button1_Click()

  Dim sTmp As String = Application.Path &/ "ExecBug2.gambas"

  If Exist(sTmp) = False Then Error.Raise("Binary file is missing!")

  hProcess = Exec ["gbr3", sTmp] For Input As "Process"

  Wait 1

  If hProcess.State = hProcess.Running Then
    Message("Project is started from terminal!")
  Else
    Message("Project is started by double clicking with mouse!")
  Endif

End


Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open the code in IDE and compile two different executables from it, name
them ExecBug.gambas and ExecBug2.gambas.
2. Make sure the executables are in same folder!
3. Double click on ExecBug.gambas and read the message; it should tell you
how you started ExecBug.gambas.
4. Open terminal to the folder and type "./ExecBug.gambas".
5  Now you should have two instances of this program (ExecBug.gambas and
ExecBug2.gambas) and message should tell you it is started from terminal.


This is new behaviour, but I don't know when this exactly emerged. I would
say month ago everything worked.
Am I missing something? Problem with my machine?

Can someone confirm?
Thanks!

Jussi
