How to use arguments with spaces and dots when using $os.cmd() to execute shell commands in pb_hooks? #4945

Hello, I am trying to get an output from this: nmcli --terse --color no --mode multiline --show-secrets --wait 10 --fields ipv4.method connection show "Wired connection 1"Using hook: const arg_nmcli = ['--terse', '--color', 'no', '--mode', 'multiline', '--show-secrets', '--wait', '10'];
const connection = 'Wired connection 1';
const result = String.fromCharCode(...$os.cmd('nmcli', ...arg_nmcli, ...['--fields', 'ipv4.method', 'connection', 'show', `"${connection}"`]).output());
console.log(result);I got an error. Any suggestions? |

What is the error? In general the above double array spread/expansion looks weird but I guess it should work. |

The error in the log is: Using this to print: console.log($os.cmd('nmcli', ...).string());In Pocketbase's hook this works fine: nmcli --terse --color no --mode multiline --show-secrets --wait 10 device showThis doesn't: nmcli --terse --color no --mode multiline --show-secrets --wait 10 --fields ipv4.method connection show "Wired connection 1"The difference that I can see is Both commands works fine in shell. |

I also just noticed that you are inserting extra double quotes around the "Wired connection 1" string. Try to remove them as these quotes are usually needed only for the shell to properly split/extract the args. |
