### Advanced examples
|
59
|
-
|
60
|
-
#### Output to pipe
|
61
|
-
|
62
|
-
```ruby
|
63
|
-
r, w = IO.pipe
|
64
|
-
|
65
|
-
proc = ChildProcess.build("echo", "foo")
|
66
|
-
proc.io.stdout = proc.io.stderr = w
|
67
|
-
proc.start
|
68
|
-
w.close
|
69
|
-
|
70
|
-
begin
|
71
|
-
loop { print r.readpartial(8192) }
|
72
|
-
rescue EOFError
|
73
|
-
end
|
74
|
-
|
75
|
-
proc.wait
|
76
|
-
```
|
77
|
-
|
78
|
-
Note that if you just want to get the output of a command, the backtick method on Kernel may be a better fit.
|
79
|
-
|
80
|
-
#### Write to stdin
|
81
|
-
|
82
|
-
```ruby
|
83
|
-
process = ChildProcess.build("cat")
|
84
|
-
|
85
|
-
out = Tempfile.new("duplex")
|
86
|
-
out.sync = true
|
87
|
-
|
88
|
-
process.io.stdout = process.io.stderr = out
|
89
|
-
process.duplex = true # sets up pipe so process.io.stdin will be available after .start
|
90
|
-
|
91
|
-
process.start
|
92
|
-
process.io.stdin.puts "hello world"
|
93
|
-
process.io.stdin.close
|
94
|
-
|
95
|
-
process.poll_for_exit(exit_timeout_in_seconds)
|
96
|
-
|
97
|
-
out.rewind
|
98
|
-
out.read #=> "hello world\n"
|
99
|
-
```
|
100
|
-
|
101
|
-
#### Pipe output to another ChildProcess
|
102
|
-
|
103
|
-
```ruby
|
104
|
-
search = ChildProcess.build("grep", '-E', %w(redis memcached).join('|'))
|
105
|
-
search.duplex = true # sets up pipe so search.io.stdin will be available after .start
|
106
|
-
search.io.stdout = $stdout
|
107
|
-
search.start
|
108
|
-
|
109
|
-
listing = ChildProcess.build("ps", "aux")
|
110
|
-
listing.io.stdout = search.io.stdin
|
111
|
-
listing.start
|
112
|
-
listing.wait
|
113
|
-
|
114
|
-
search.io.stdin.close
|
115
|
-
search.wait
|
116
|
-
```
|
117
|
-
|
118
|
-
#### Prefer posix_spawn on *nix
|
119
|
-
|
120
|
-
If the parent process is using a lot of memory, `fork+exec` can be very expensive. The `posix_spawn()` API removes this overhead.
|
121
|
-
|
122
|
-
```ruby
|
123
|
-
ChildProcess.posix_spawn = true
|
124
|
-
process = ChildProcess.build(*args)
|
125
|
-
```
|
126
|
-
|
127
|
-
### Ensure entire process tree dies
|
128
|
-
|
129
|
-
By default, the child process does not create a new process group. This means there's no guarantee that the entire process tree will die when the child process is killed. To solve this:
|
130
|
-
|
131
|
-
```ruby
|
132
|
-
process = ChildProcess.build(*args)
|
133
|
-
process.leader = true
|
134
|
-
process.start
|
135
|
-
```
|
136
|
-
|
137
|
-
#### Detach from parent
|
138
|
-
|
139
|
-
```ruby
|
140
|
-
process = ChildProcess.build("sleep", "10")
|
141
|
-
process.detach = true
|
142
|
-
process.start
|
143
|
-
```
|
144
|
-
|
145
|
-
#### Invoking a shell
|
146
|
-
|
147
|
-
As opposed to `Kernel#system`, `Kernel#exec` et al., ChildProcess will not automatically execute your command in a shell (like `/bin/sh` or `cmd.exe`) depending on the arguments.
|
148
|
-
This means that if you try to execute e.g. gem executables (like `bundle` or `gem`) or Windows executables (with `.com` or `.bat` extensions) you may see a `ChildProcess::LaunchError`.
|
149
|
-
You can work around this by being explicit about what interpreter to invoke:
|
150
|
-
|
151
|
-
```ruby
|
152
|
-
ChildProcess.build("cmd.exe", "/c", "bundle")
|
153
|
-
ChildProcess.build("ruby", "-S", "bundle")
|
154
|
-
```
|
155
|
-
|
156
|
-
## Caveats

# Usage
|
15
|
+
|
16
|
+
The object returned from `ChildProcess.build` will implement `ChildProcess::AbstractProcess`.
|
17
|
+
|
18
|
+
### Basic examples
|
19
|
+
|
20
|
+
```ruby
|
21
|
+
process = ChildProcess.build("ruby", "-e", "sleep")
|
22
|
+
|
23
|
+
# inherit stdout/stderr from parent...
|
24
|
+
process.io.inherit!
|
25
|
+
|
26
|
+
# ...or pass an IO
|
27
|
+
process.io.stdout = Tempfile.new("child-output")
|
28
|
+
|
29
|
+
# modify the environment for the child
|
30
|
+
process.environment["a"] = "b"
|
31
|
+
process.environment["c"] = nil
|
32
|
+
|
33
|
+
# set the child's working directory
|
34
|
+
process.cwd = '/some/path'
|
35
|
+
|
36
|
+
# start the process
|
37
|
+
process.start
|
38
|
+
|
39
|
+
# check process status
|
40
|
+
process.alive? #=> true
|
41
|
+
process.exited? #=> false
|
42
|
+
|
43
|
+
# wait indefinitely for process to exit...
|
44
|
+
process.wait
|
45
|
+
process.exited? #=> true
|
46
|
+
|
47
|
+
# get the exit code
|
48
|
+
process.exit_code #=> 0
|
49
|
+
|
50
|
+
# ...or poll for exit + force quit
|
51
|
+
begin
|
52
|
+
process.poll_for_exit(10)
|
53
|
+
rescue ChildProcess::TimeoutError
|
54
|
+
process.stop # tries increasingly harsher methods to kill the process.
|
55
|
+
end
|
56
|
+
```
|
57
|
+
|
58
|
+
### Advanced examples
|
59
|
+
|
60
|
+
#### Output to pipe
|
61
|
+
|
62
|
+
```ruby
|
63
|
+
r, w = IO.pipe
|
64
|
+
|
65
|
+
proc = ChildProcess.build("echo", "foo")
|
66
|
+
proc.io.stdout = proc.io.stderr = w
|
67
|
+
proc.start
|
68
|
+
w.close
|
69
|
+
|
70
|
+
begin
|
71
|
+
loop { print r.readpartial(8192) }
|
72
|
+
rescue EOFError
|
73
|
+
end
|
74
|
+
|
75
|
+
proc.wait
|
76
|
+
```
|
77
|
+
|
78
|
+
Note that if you just want to get the output of a command, the backtick method on Kernel may be a better fit.
|
79
|
+
|
80
|
+
#### Write to stdin
|
81
|
+
|
82
|
+
```ruby
|
83
|
+
process = ChildProcess.build("cat")
|
84
|
+
|
85
|
+
out = Tempfile.new("duplex")
|
86
|
+
out.sync = true
|
87
|
+
|
88
|
+
process.io.stdout = process.io.stderr = out
|
89
|
+
process.duplex = true # sets up pipe so process.io.stdin will be available after .start
|
90
|
+
|
91
|
+
process.start
|
92
|
+
process.io.stdin.puts "hello world"
|
93
|
+
process.io.stdin.close
|
94
|
+
|
95
|
+
process.poll_for_exit(exit_timeout_in_seconds)
|
96
|
+
|
97
|
+
out.rewind
|
98
|
+
out.read #=> "hello world\n"
|
99
|
+
```
|
100
|
+
|
101
|
+
#### Pipe output to another ChildProcess
|
102
|
+
|
103
|
+
```ruby
|
104
|
+
search = ChildProcess.build("grep", '-E', %w(redis memcached).join('|'))
|
105
|
+
search.duplex = true # sets up pipe so search.io.stdin will be available after .start
|
106
|
+
search.io.stdout = $stdout
|
107
|
+
search.start
|
108
|
+
|
109
|
+
listing = ChildProcess.build("ps", "aux")
|
110
|
+
listing.io.stdout = search.io.stdin
|
111
|
+
listing.start
|
112
|
+
listing.wait
|
113
|
+
|
114
|
+
search.io.stdin.close
|
115
|
+
search.wait
|
116
|
+
```
|
117
|
+
|
118
|
+
#### Prefer posix_spawn on *nix
|
119
|
+
|
120
|
+
If the parent process is using a lot of memory, `fork+exec` can be very expensive. The `posix_spawn()` API removes this overhead.
|
121
|
+
|
122
|
+
```ruby
|
123
|
+
ChildProcess.posix_spawn = true
|
124
|
+
process = ChildProcess.build(*args)
|
125
|
+
```
|
126
|
+
|
127
|
+
### Ensure entire process tree dies
|
128
|
+
|
129
|
+
By default, the child process does not create a new process group. This means there's no guarantee that the entire process tree will die when the child process is killed. To solve this:
|
130
|
+
|
131
|
+
```ruby
|
132
|
+
process = ChildProcess.build(*args)
|
133
|
+
process.leader = true
|
134
|
+
process.start
|
135
|
+
```
|
136
|
+
|
137
|
+
#### Detach from parent
|
138
|
+
|
139
|
+
```ruby
|
140
|
+
process = ChildProcess.build("sleep", "10")
|
141
|
+
process.detach = true
|
142
|
+
process.start
|
143
|
+
```
|
144
|
+
|
145
|
+
#### Invoking a shell
|
146
|
+
|
147
|
+
As opposed to `Kernel#system`, `Kernel#exec` et al., ChildProcess will not automatically execute your command in a shell (like `/bin/sh` or `cmd.exe`) depending on the arguments.
|
148
|
+
This means that if you try to execute e.g. gem executables (like `bundle` or `gem`) or Windows executables (with `.com` or `.bat` extensions) you may see a `ChildProcess::LaunchError`.
|
149
|
+
You can work around this by being explicit about what interpreter to invoke:
|
150
|
+
|
151
|
+
```ruby
|
152
|
+
ChildProcess.build("cmd.exe", "/c", "bundle")
|
153
|
+
ChildProcess.build("ruby", "-S", "bundle")
|
154
|
+
```
|
155
|
+
|
156
|
+
## Caveats
|
157
|
+
|
158
|
+
* With JRuby on Unix, modifying `ENV["PATH"]` before using childprocess could lead to 'Command not found' errors, since JRuby is unable to modify the environemnt used for PATH searches in `java.lang.ProcessBuilder`. This can be avoided by setting `ChildProcess.posix_spawn = true`.
