openApp() stucks on Linux after 2.0.5 upgrade

[Alexious-sh]

Hi!
Version 2.0.5 is unable to start any app, which is blocking the shell. E.g.:

openApp("vlc")
print("Done!")

It stuck on the first line until you manually close the app. Print will be fired only after that. I guess, it completely breaks app running behavior.

Found related issue #366 - looks like the change there causes the issue. That's strange because I can run such a command without blocking the terminal:

sh -c "vlc" &

PS: I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 if it makes sense.

Could you please try, wether

run('sh -c "vlc" &')

does the job?

Hi. I tried use simple code

run('sh -c "vlc"') # with & i tried too 
topHalfScreen = Region(0,0,1200,800)
topHalfScreen.wait("1.png").click()

but the process hangs forever

[Alexious-sh]

Yep. The same for me. The process just hangs until I close the app.

[RaiMan]

Ok, thanks.

I will to get an Ubuntu 20 to running the next days.

So I can test and evaluate myself.

This is most probably all fixed with PR #418 where all this argument splitting is done properly and the sh wrapper is removed entirely. Probably worth porting this back to the 2.0.x branch or pushing 2.1 further?
