Actually, I believe correct behavior (comparing against v0.7.8) is to never print this. So, this should be silent: true.

just to clarify, here silent: true will always be there?

In my previous comment, I intended for you to change this line to:

common.error(stderr, code, { continue: true, silent: true });

}
var obj = common.ShellString(stdout, stderr, code);
return obj;

This line is OK as written. This actually exposes a bug (#862), which I will handle.

FYI fix is uploaded (#863). It's OK if this PR lands first.

This test is great. Can you also add a second test to handle the case for silent: false?


Optional suggestion: you can replace the command with shell.exec('shx ls resources/file1.txt filethatdoesnotexist'). shx ls is cross-platform, guaranteed to produce both stdout & stderr, and guaranteed to have a non-zero exit code.

Above you suggested that silent will always be true, then there will be no silent: falsecase?

Above you suggested that silent will always be true

For this PR, correct behavior is to always pass { silent: true } to common.error(), regardless of config.silent or exec's { silent: true } option.

then there will be no silent: false case?

I think two cases are interesting:

  1. when the user passes silent: true, there should be no stdio
  2. when the user passes silent: false (or, equivalently, the default), the command's stdio should go to stdio, but exec should not also print exec: <something here> to stderr

Does this make sense?

I will fix and add test asap

shell.exec(`${JSON.stringify(shell.config.execPath)} -e "console.error(1234); console.log(666); process.exit(12);"`, { silent: true });
const stdout = mocks.stdout();
const stderr = mocks.stderr();
t.is(stdout, '');
t.is(stderr, '');
});

test('check exit code', t => {
const result = shell.exec(`${JSON.stringify(shell.config.execPath)} -e "process.exit(12);"`);
t.truthy(shell.error());
