Hello dear community,
I want to inform you about a bad error message that occurs when you call
`startProcess` with a wrong `workingDir`. (I hope the category is the right one)
const correct_path = "/home/user/"
const wrong_path = "home/user/
#Works fine:
let p = startProcess("ls", correct_path)
#Gives the following error message:
let p2 = startProcess("ls", wrong_path)
Run
The error message is the following:
ref 0x7f25edd83b90 --> [errorCode = 0,
parent = nil,
name = 0x560c625722e2"OSError",
msg = 0x7f25ea28f060"Additional info: \"Could not find command: \\'ls\\'.
OS error: No such file or directory\"",
trace = 0x7f25edb4f150@[[procname = 0x560c6259d322"foo",

`Could not find command: \'ls\'` is very misleading and it took me a couple of
hours to debug until I coincidentally found out that it works without the
`workingDir`. So maybe there should be a more precise error message with
parameter checking.
