Groovy adds the execute method to String to make executing shells fairly easy;
println "ls".execute().text
but if an error happens, then there is no resulting output. Is there an easy way to get both the standard error and standard out? (other than creating a bunch of code to; create two threads to read both inputstreams, then using a parent stream to wait for them to complete then convert the strings back to text?)
It would be nice to have something like;
def x = shellDo("ls /tmp/NoFile")
println "out: ${x.out} err:${x.err}"
