Hi All,
Windows Pro Chromebook Edition 22H2 (W11)
raku -v Welcome to RakudoΓäó v2022.07.
When ever I run the following, it opens
a Notepad with the text of the calling
raku program.
raku -e "use lib '.'; use NativeWinUtils :RunCmd; say RunCmd(Q[ls]);"
This is RunCmd
sub RunCmd( Str $CommandStr, Bool $EchoOff = False ) returns Str is
export( :RunCmd ) {
my $PathIAm = $?FILE;
my Str $BatFile = $PathIAm ~ ".bat";
# print "$BatFile\n";
my Str $RtnStr;
my Str $CmdStr = "";
if $EchoOff { $CmdStr = Q[@echo off] ~ "\n"; }
$CmdStr = $CmdStr ~ $CommandStr ~ "\n";
# print "$CmdStr";
spurt( $BatFile, $CmdStr );
$RtnStr = qqx { $BatFile };
# print "$RtnStr\n";
}
It is the qqx command (it runs the created .bat file)
that opens the notepad.
The .bat file, which I leave on the disk,
runs fine manually.
And I did this to myself. I had a pop up that
asked me what to do with something and I must
have clicked on it by accident.

Its a bug in Raku:
qqx tries to run the module, not the sub inside the module:
Windows 10 Pro 21H2
Windows 11 Pro 22H2
https://rakudo.org/dl/rakudo/rakudo-moar-2022.07-01-win-x86_64-msvc.msi
When you run this sub inside your program, there is no issue.
If you put the sub into a module, then qqx tries to
run the module itself, not the batch file this sub
creates:
<RunCmdModule.pm6>
# unit module RunCmdModule;
# RunCmdModule.pm6
sub RunCmd( Str $CommandStr, Bool $EchoOff = False ) returns Str is
export( :RunCmd ) {
my $PathIAm = $?FILE;
my Str $BatFile = $PathIAm ~ ".bat";
# print "$BatFile\n";
my Str $RtnStr;
my Str $CmdStr = "";
if $EchoOff { $CmdStr = Q[@echo off] ~ "\n"; }
$CmdStr = $CmdStr ~ $CommandStr ~ "\n";
# print "$CmdStr";
spurt( $BatFile, $CmdStr );
$RtnStr = qqx { $BatFile };
# print "$RtnStr\n";
}
</RunCmdModule.pm6>
Test one liner (run in the same directory as the module):
raku -e "use lib '.'; use RunCmdModule :RunCmd; say RunCmd(Q[ls]);
Result: Windwos tries to run a .pm6 file
