Plugin: Support Execute Subprocess

Customization
1

I want a function to execute native app in plugin.

Maybe this?

https://plugins-doc.logseq.com/logseq/App/invokeExternalCommand

I’m not sure, the documentation is too vague and I haven’t tried.

I have seen this. But after reading the source code, I think it’s for invoking some pre-defined command for internal use. And it cannot be used to create a subprocess.

Thank you!

It seems to work. I’ll check on that.

I’m sorry to bother you.

But after diving into the code, I can make sure the run-cli-command method is not exported for the plugin.

I would be happy to submit a PR for this if you agree.

Do you know when Logseq developers allow to execute cli command from plugin code?

It’s better to open an issue on GitHub and mark “I’m willing to submit a pull request” :slight_smile:

I faced a similar challenge recently when I needed to run some backend service. My solution was to create a workaround by setting up an API interface for the backend code. You can check out the details here:
