Running a bash script as a subprocess in Node.js

Prince Igwe

This code will execute the ./<path> bashscript.sh command, and will print the following output:

stdout:

./test.sh: line 1: syntax error near `;' ./test.sh: line 2: unexpected ')'

stderr:

error:

./test.sh: line 1: syntax error near `;' ./test.

import {exec} from 'node:child_process'

exec('sh ./<path /to /the /bashcript.sh> ', (error, stdout, stderr) => {
  if(error) {
    console.log(`error: ${error.message}`)
    return;
    }
  if(stderr) {
    console.error(`stderr: ${stderr}`)
    return
  }
  console.log(`stdout: \n${stdout}`)
  })
