Sample Code #3
Description
Not-a-bug.
Simple example to open a browser passing args from the cmd. I post here so, if you want, you can add as an example. I'm using to call from vs code to open a svelte project. Thanks !
use std::vec;
use std::env;
// search browsers at the path
fn opt_find_browsers()->Option<Vec<Browser>>{
let browsers: Vec<Browser> = get_browsers();
// find a specific browser installation path
if browsers.len() > 0{
Some(browsers)
}else{
None
}
}
// run exe
fn run_exe(exe_name : String, args: Option<Vec<String>> ){
use std::process::Command;
let _browser_runner: std::process::Output ;
if args.is_some(){
let buf_args = args.clone().unwrap();
let buf_args : Vec<&str> = buf_args.iter().map(|s| &**s).collect();
_browser_runner = Command::new(exe_name).args(buf_args).output().unwrap();
}else {
_browser_runner = Command::new(exe_name).output().unwrap();
}
}
fn get_cli_args() -> Option<Vec<String>>{
let args: Vec<String> = env::args().collect();
Some(args)
}
fn main() {
// store cli input inside string
let args_vec = get_cli_args().unwrap();
// get a opt list of browsers
let opt_find_browser = opt_find_browsers();
// if a browser value was found
if opt_find_browser.is_some(){
//get the first browser which is safe
let browser_path = opt_find_browser.unwrap()[0].path.clone().into_os_string().into_string().unwrap();
let browser_path = String::from(browser_path);
// case no cli args where found
// use default
if args_vec.len() <= 1 {
let args = vec![
String::from("--app=https://github.com/JAD3N/browsers"),
String::from("--window-size=480,800")
];
run_exe(browser_path, Some(args));
}else{
//let args : Vec<String> = input_string.clone().chars().map(|s|s.into()).collect();
run_exe(browser_path, Some(args_vec));
}
}else{
println!("error can't find a valid browser");
}
}
