child_process.execFile example

gistfile1.js

var child_process = require('child_process');

// exec: spawns a shell.
child_process.exec('ls -lah /tmp', function(error, stdout, stderr){
	console.log(stdout);
});

// execFile: executes a file with the specified arguments
child_process.execFile('ls', ['-lah', '/tmp'], function(error, stdout, stderr){
	console.log(stdout);
});

How can I call the execFile method to run a bash script that returns a list of values?

My bash file (test.sh) returns a list of 8 values but the below script is printing only the last row of the output.

const { execFile } = require('child_process');
const child = execFile('./test.sh', (error,stdout,stderror) => {
  if (error) {
    throw error;
  }
  console.log(stdout);
});

Does it differenciate this 2 kind of errors:

• child_process didn't find your binary or the process broke;
• a "normal" error code was returned by your binary after execution
