Problems with "open" (trying to execute ChucK!)
Jun 18th, 2009, 11:10pm  
Hello,

I'm trying to execute ChucK from my Processing script.  I've copied chuck.exe and a sample file (text.ck) into the data directory and coded this in Processing:

String[] params = { dataPath("chuck.exe"), "test.ck" };
open(params);

This doesn't seem to work.  Not only that, but if I misspell chuck.exe, it doesn't complain and does nothing.  Usually I'd hope for some error message or something! Smiley

Thanks for any ideas,
- Bret

I don't know what is ChucK. How do you see it is not working? Are you sure it looks in current directory (if the latter is correctly set...) for the file?

Note that Processing has a general policy of "eating" errors, even for stuff like loadImage.

Take a look at this thread.  It uses the exec(), which got mine working correctly.  Also, I've notice with Windows that I've had to encapsulate the path with quotes ("\"").  dataPath("") may do this for you, but something to keep in mind.
