Launching executable i app bundle via window.cep.process.createProcess

[Max34219589k6zg]

Hello!

I am trying to launch an app bundle via 

window.cep.process.createProcess(path)

My executable used to be located at:

path="/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp"

Now it has moved to here:

path="/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/Workflow Extension.appex/Contents/Resources/MyAppHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/MyAppHelper"

The issue is that when I execute "MyAppHelper", it also starts the executable at `MyApp.app/Contets/MacOS/MyApp`. This obviously does not happen if I execute the MyAppHelper binary by simply doing e.g.

cd "/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/PlugIns/Workflow Extension.appex/Contents/Resources/MyAppHelper.app/Contents/MacOS/"

./MyAppHelper

I tried a workaround like doing the above in a bash script and launching it via:

window.cep.process.createProcess("/bin/bash", csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + "/launch-helper.sh")

But this does not start anything at all unfortunately.

How can I get the process API to only start "MyAppHelper" in this case, and not the other binary in the containing app bundle in /Applications?

Kind regards,

Max

No (intentional) changes have been made to that functionality, in years...

Perhaps the spaces in the path aren't properly escaped?
