This question have been asked and answered before (for example here: How do I run a Python script from C#?), but in my specific code the answers doesn't seem to work for me.
Github issue: https://github.com/nopara73/JoinMarketTest/issues/2
In cmd it seamlessly works:
"python wallet-tool.py generate"
This command generates a new wallet. It asks for password, password confirmation and wallet name from the user.
However I doesn't seem to get it right with C# code.
At first glance it seems like an easy one, but something unusual is happening here.
The simpified code:
internal string Generate()
{
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo
{
FileName = PythonPath,
Arguments = "wallet-tool.py generate",
UseShellExecute = false,
CreateNoWindow = true,
RedirectStandardOutput = true,
RedirectStandardInput = true
};
using (var process = Process.Start(start))
{
if (process == null) return String.Empty;
using (var output = process.StandardOutput)
{
using (var input = process.StandardInput)
{
// Asks for password.
var result = output.ReadToEnd();
input.WriteLine("password");
// Asks for password confirmation.
result += output.ReadToEnd();
input.WriteLine("password");
// Asks for wallet file name.
result += output.ReadToEnd();
input.WriteLine("wallet.json");
result += output.ReadToEnd();
return result;
}
}
}
}
