Hi 👋 I would love to know how can I from the JS side invoke an app run with arguments.

async function enterServer(serverIP) {
  const serverPath = "path/to/server.exe";
  await Command.run(`${serverPath} -connect=${serverIP}`);
}

Basically I need to transform that snippet in a working code for Tauri 🤔

i guess basically this? https://tauri.app/v1/api/js/shell/#command

#

and if you wanna bundle that server with your tauri app, then probably this https://tauri.app/v1/guides/building/sidecar

Thank you for your quick reply 🙂 hmmm, so it becomes like this?

async function enterServer(serverIP) {
  const serverPath = "path/to/server.exe";
  const command = new Command("serverPath", ["-connect=serverIP"]);
  await command.spawn();
}

@rich stirrup I got the following error:
Uncaught (in promise) program not allowed on the configured shell scope: serverPath

I have this on my tauri.config.js:

    "allowlist": {
      "all": true,
      "shell": {
        "all": true,
        "execute": true,
        "sidecar": true,
        "open": true,
        "scope": [
          {
            "name": "serverPath",
            "cmd": "serverPath",
            "args": ["-connect", { "validator": "\\S+" }]
          },
        ]
      }
    },

"serverPath" must be an actual path, or the name of the binary

Hmm okok, but in the frontend the user specifies the folder path of the executable 🤔

that will be a bit more tricky then
