RunProgram() on MacOS (arm64) [SOLVED]

[tikidays]

Hi, recently RunProgram stopped working on the MacOS compile, and I dont know why, it may have been linked to the recent 6.10 LTS update. The Windows component still functions. Can some one verify this for me?

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_MacOS 
	RunProgram("open","http://www.google.com/","")
CompilerElseIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows
	RunProgram("http://www.google.com/")
CompilerEndIf

Your code works fine on my MacBook Pro M1 (PB 6.10, MacOS 14.4.1)

Try this (httpS needed?)

Code: Select all

RunProgram("/usr/bin/open", URLEncoder("https://www.google.com/"), "")

Write on Terminal:

which open

Result should be: /usr/bin/open

Thankyou! It was the URLEncoder() I was missing.

Generally speaking (this was only for URLs) on Mac runprogram has some problems with the parameter string, but there is a Workaround
