Utility - Environment - Start Process Read Stderr and Stdout in CMD

[Dominika.Zolotarew]

Hello,
I use curl in CMD through "Start Process Read Stderr and Stdout" in  "Utility - Environment" object.

It works alright with an exception that in same cases the standard output is not generated, although it should since the same call ran straight in CMD gives large output.

I am 95% sure it depends on the size of the data in the output.
It wouldn't be such a problem since we can arrange process to call smaller chunks of data, however, there is no indication from object (in any of outputs) that something went wrong.

Example Stderr when object outputs correct data in Stdout:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
100  765k    0  765k  100   166   827k    179 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  829k
100 1302k    0 1302k  100   166  1162k    148  0:00:01  0:00:01 --:--:-- 1166k

Example of Stderr when objects outputs no output in Stdout:

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
100 1301k    0 1301k  100   166  1673k    213 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 1683k

Is there any way of controlling it?

Hi Dominika - have you tried using a bigger timeout value? Line 25 of the code stage shows that the output will not be generated when isCompleted is false, which makes me wonder if sometimes the timeout has elapsed before the command has finished.

Hello John, thank you for clearing this out!
Value I use is "-1" which should wait indefinitely.
