I just came across the fact that running
createProcess (proc "asdfasdf" [])
with non-existing command "asdfasdf" returns perfectly fine handles.
I would expect an exception.
You can even hGetContents on stdout: You just get "".
I find this highly counter-intuitive. Is this intended?
Thanks
Niklas
PS: I checked how some other programming languages do this:
Python:
import subprocess; subprocess.call("asdfasdf", shell=False)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Ruby:
exec("asdfasdf")
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - asdfasdf
