run terminal commands in custom atom package












0















I am currently creating an atom package which runs commands on the windows command prompt not the atom command prompt. So far, I only have the code:



if (editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor()){
let editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor();
let file = editor.buffer.file;
let path = file.path;

editor.save();

editor.insertText(path);
}


I do not know how to spawn a command window or how to run a command. All that code does is check if the user is in a text window and then for testing purposes inserts the path into the text window. Eventually, I am going to need to run cd path.

  • Do you want to run a command or do you want a command prompt to open and then run the command?

  • Either one, the ultimate goal to run the java compilation command, so if it is possible to run a command without having to make the command prompt visible, that is preferable.

To execute a program, you can use the with child_process module that's bundled with Node (Atom has its own wrapper for it, see BufferedProcess)



Example:



// Somewhere in your header
const { spawn } = require('child_process');

// Where you need to execute the Java compiler
const javac = spawn('javac', [path], {stdio: inherit});


For debugging purposes, you probably want to use something like console-panel to print messages.
