[SOLVED] run(cmd) returns an error

Empbilly · January 28, 2020 - 7:09 PM

Good morning,

code:

for soft in installed_softwares("NetBeans"):
        try:
            cmd = WAPT.uninstall_cmd(soft['key'])
            if len(cmd) == 2:
                cmd = cmd[0]
            if not '--silent' in cmd:
                cmd = cmd + ' --silent --state {}state.xml'.format(path)
                print(cmd)
                run(cmd)
        except ValueError:
            print('An error occured!')

I'm running a test installation of PyScripter, but the command prompt (cmd) returns the following error:

Code: Select all

CalledProcessErrorOutput: Command 'C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans-11.2\\uninstall.exe --silent --state C:\\ProgramData\\state.xml' returned non-zero exit status 1.

I believe this is due to the fact that he puts "\\" two back bars.

How can I solve it?

            if not '--silent' in cmd:
                cmd = '"%s" --silent --state "%s"' % (cmd,makepath(path,'state.xml'))
                print(cmd)
                run(cmd)
        except ValueError:
            print('An error occured!')

Can you try this?

Can you try this?

Sorry, I didn't understand your question!

...
cmd = '"%s" --silent --state "%s"' % (cmd,makepath(path,'state.xml'))
...

In local execution tests with the psychiatrist, it worked.

In production, it reinserts the backslashes "\\" into the software path and generates an error.

Code: Select all

CalledProcessErrorOutput: Command '"C:\\Program Files\\NetBeans-11.2\\uninstall.exe" --silent  returned non-zero exit status 1.

Any ideas?

Actually it is the same nice people from Tranquil IT keeping an eye on both reddit (for English speaking people) and on this forum (for French speaking people)
