I'm trying to run a process from C# console app on Mac:

var processInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("./gradlew", "bundleRelease")
{
    WorkingDirectory = gradlewDir,
    CreateNoWindow = true,
    UseShellExecute = false,
    RedirectStandardError = true,
    RedirectStandardOutput = true
};

var process = Process.Start(processInfo);

It fails with "no such file or directory" error. However if I run:

var files = Directory.GetFiles(gradlewDir); I do see this file in there. I also made sure all permissions are set to run it. I'm able to run it from the terminal too. What am I doing wrong?

Presumably you need to fully qualify the path to `gradlew`. – ProgrammingLlama May 09 '20 at 15:25
@John I think you're right. Question for you, how do I pass parameters to it? I think I've passed the not found error, now I need to pass `bundleRelease` parameter and it doesn't seem to work? – Andrei May 09 '20 at 15:42
See the `Arguments` property :) – ProgrammingLlama May 09 '20 at 15:47
lol, that's what I do and it doesn't work :) – Andrei May 09 '20 at 15:48
Ok got it. Even though I provide full path, I still need to set working directory for the process. May be specific to what I'm trying to do but anyways, you can post your answer and get credit for it ;) thank you @John – Andrei May 09 '20 at 15:52

It sounds like you figured out the second half so I think you should add your full solution and I'll upvote it :D – ProgrammingLlama May 09 '20 at 15:53
