How to run a cmd command with System.cmd/3?
Hi,
I’m trying to run a script using System.cmd/3 but I’m getting an :enoent error.
Here’s the error output:
[error] Task #PID<0.427.0> started from #PID<0.373.0> terminating
** (stop) :enoent
(elixir) lib/system.ex:632: System.cmd("echo", ["hello"], [])

Any ideas whats wrong?

So you are on windows? There is no echo executable then, with a bit of luck System.cmd("cmd", ["echo", "foo"]) might work, but no guarantees for nothing…

You probably do not have echo in PATH.
Please check on a terminal if which -a echo gives you at least one result that is not a function or built-in.
Then check if the prefix of that output is available in the PATH visible to your application (System.get_env("PATH")).
