I cant `use tauri::api::process::Command`

[proper stump]

here is what the rust compiler shows:

It's hidden behind a feature flag process-command-api which the tauri cli will remove automatically if you don't allowlist it in tauri.conf.josn

which, of course is not that nice because it will also allowlist it for the js side

[proper stump]

so I should add that to cargo toml and enable in the allowlist the command?

[echo flint]

changing the allowlist is enough, the cli will add the feature flag

[proper stump]

ok thank you very much!

[echo flint]

you can also just use rust's Command. There isn't that much of a difference but you'd potentially have to kill the Child on exit yourself

hey I used the std command but with VSCode running in the terminal cargo tauri dev it spawns the powershell inside the same terminal? how to open with command an external powershell?

I want to spawn two powershells so they can make a chat together, the code works have tested it before trying to implement it in tauri

[echo flint]

If you want both powershell windows to actually exist you can try something like this: rs use std::os::windows::process::CommandExt; let cmd = Command::new().creation_flags(0x00000010) // CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE if you want to hide them: ```rs
use std::os::windows::process::CommandExt;
let cmd = Command::new().creation_flags(0x08000000) // CREATE_NO_WINDOW

[proper stump]

thanks!

shouldnt it be CommandExt::new?

but there is an error there

that new doesnt exits

[echo flint]

no

CommandExt "extends" std::process::Command

[proper stump]

how to run powershell then?

oh so I need also use std::process::Command?

[echo flint]

yea

[proper stump]

okok

brb

it works!!! briliant!!!

thanks a lot!!!
