I'm having trouble executing different NSTask's. Same launchPath
, different arguments
. I have a class who's instances administer own NSTask
objects and depending on arguments those instances were initialized with - dependent NSTask
object is being created. I have two initializers:
// Method for finished task
- (void)taskFinished:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
[myTask release];
myTask = nil;
[self createTask];
}
// Designated initializer
- (id) init {
self = [super init];
if (self != nil) {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(taskFinished:)
name:NSTaskDidTerminateNotification
object:nil];
[self createTask];
}
return self;
}
// Convenience initializer
- (id)initWithCommand:(NSString *)subCommand {
self = [self init];
if (self)
{
[self setCommand:subCommand];
}
return self;
}
And here 's the createTask
method:
- (void)createTask {
// myTask is a property defined as NSTask*
myTask = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[myTask setLaunchPath:@"/usr/bin/executable"];
}
The actions are executed via selecting different rows in NSOutlineView (using PXSourceList as a wrapper):
- (void)sourceListSelectionDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
id sourceList = [notification object];
NSIndexSet *selection = [sourceList selectedRowIndexes];
NSString *identifier = [[sourceList itemAtRow:[selection firstIndex]] identifier];
// this way `/usr/bin/executable ${identifier}` is being created
MyCommand *command = [[MyCommand alloc] initWithSubcommand:identifier];
// this method executes [myTask launch];
[command execute]
}
The problem is that only first one gets executed. The second ones does not even trigger "click" event (via target-action). I think it could be cause of launchPath I'm trying to use, 'cause simple /bin/ls
works fine. The same command in terminal has 0 return value (i.e. all is fine). Any guides or gotchas are much appreciated.
