How to catch error when setting launchpath in NSTask

Question

I am trying to run a commandline tool using swift 2 on a mac (10.10):

let task = NSTask()
task.launchPath = \"/path/to/wrong/binary\"
task.launch()

// NSPip         


        

Answer 1

In Mac OS X High Sierra, launch() is deprecated. You would use run() instead:

let process = Process()
// ...

do {
    process.run()
} catch let error as NSError {
    print(error.localizedDescription)
    // ...
}

Also have a look at the Apple Dev Docs
