Help, calling command in another command

[magic-thomas]

Yes, I have to call child process command in command.

I have two command

call:invest -> child process
main:call -> main process.

in shell.

adonis call:invest 

it works fine and produce infinite output .

but for getting output from child process.

adonis main:call 

-> it goest error.

child launch failed:  Error: spawn export NODE_ENV=test || set NODE_ENV=test && adonis call:invest ENOENT
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:276:19)
    at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:476:16)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:80:21) {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'spawn export NODE_ENV=test || set NODE_ENV=test && adonis call:invest',
  path: 'export NODE_ENV=test || set NODE_ENV=test && adonis call:invest',
  spawnargs: []
}

my main:call coes are below

    const cmdStr ='export NODE_ENV=test || set NODE_ENV=test && adonis call:invest';
   //    const cmdStr ='adonis call:invest';  --> it goes  error also.
    const child = spawn( cmdStr);

How can I run command in another command ?

p.s.

I even tried with this codes

    const child = spawn( cmdStr, {
      stdio: 'inherit', // 'pipe', 'ignore' .. all goes error 
      shell: true
    }); 

Package version

adonis 4.1 / puppeteer

Node.js and npm version

node : 15.4
npm 6.14.10

Hey @magic-thomas! 👋

You can require ace and run the ace.call() method.

const ace = require('@adonisjs/ace')

await ace.call('migration:run', {}, { silent: true })

I have same problem as the OP, the only difference is that I need to call the command from inside a Task (cronjob).
Unfortunatly it always give me this error:

error: update:teams is not a registered command {"task":"update:teams"}

The command is registered, I can call it via cli with adonis update:teams or node ace update:teams.
