Existe-t-il un équivalent asynchrone de Process.Start ?

Question

Comme le titre le suggère, existe-t-il un équivalent à Process.Start (permet d'exécuter une autre application ou un fichier batch) que je peux attendre ?

Je joue avec une petite application console et cela semblait être l'endroit idéal pour utiliser async et await mais je ne trouve aucune documentation pour ce scénario.

Ce que je pense, c'est quelque chose comme ça :

void async RunCommand()
{
    var result = await Process.RunAsync("command to run");
}

Answer 1

Process.Start() ne fait que lancer le processus, il n'attend pas qu'il se termine, il n'est donc pas très logique de faire en sorte qu'elle async . Si vous voulez toujours le faire, vous pouvez faire quelque chose comme await Task.Run(() => Process.Start(fileName)) .

Mais, si vous voulez attendre de manière asynchrone que le processus se termine, vous pouvez utiliser el Exited événement en même temps que TaskCompletionSource :

static Task<int> RunProcessAsync(string fileName)
{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>();

    var process = new Process
    {
        StartInfo = { FileName = fileName },
        EnableRaisingEvents = true
    };

    process.Exited += (sender, args) =>
    {
        tcs.SetResult(process.ExitCode);
        process.Dispose();
    };

    process.Start();

    return tcs.Task;
}

Voici mon point de vue, basé sur réponse de svick . Il ajoute la redirection de la sortie, la conservation du code de sortie et une gestion des erreurs légèrement améliorée (élimination de l'erreur de sortie). Process même s'il n'a pas pu être démarré) :

public static async Task<int> RunProcessAsync(string fileName, string args)
{
    using (var process = new Process
    {
        StartInfo =
        {
            FileName = fileName, Arguments = args,
            UseShellExecute = false, CreateNoWindow = true,
            RedirectStandardOutput = true, RedirectStandardError = true
        },
        EnableRaisingEvents = true
    })
    {
        return await RunProcessAsync(process).ConfigureAwait(false);
    }
}    
private static Task<int> RunProcessAsync(Process process)
{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>();

    process.Exited += (s, ea) => tcs.SetResult(process.ExitCode);
    process.OutputDataReceived += (s, ea) => Console.WriteLine(ea.Data);
    process.ErrorDataReceived += (s, ea) => Console.WriteLine("ERR: " + ea.Data);

    bool started = process.Start();
    if (!started)
    {
        //you may allow for the process to be re-used (started = false) 
        //but I'm not sure about the guarantees of the Exited event in such a case
        throw new InvalidOperationException("Could not start process: " + process);
    }

    process.BeginOutputReadLine();
    process.BeginErrorReadLine();

    return tcs.Task;
}

Dans .Net 5.0, il existe une version officielle intégrée de la fonction WaitForExitAsync afin que vous n'ayez pas à l'implémenter vous-même. Aussi, Début accepte désormais les arguments suivants IEnumerable<string> (ce qui est similaire à d'autres langages de programmation comme Python/Golang).

Voici un exemple :

public static async Task YourMethod() {
    var p = Process.Start("bin_name", new[]{"arg1", "arg2", "arg3"});
    await p.WaitForExitAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
    // more code;
}

J'ai construit une classe pour lancer un processus et elle s'est développée au cours des dernières années en raison de diverses exigences. Au cours de l'utilisation, j'ai découvert plusieurs problèmes avec la classe Process, notamment en ce qui concerne l'élimination et même la lecture du ExitCode. Tout ceci est donc résolu par ma classe.

La classe a plusieurs possibilités, par exemple la lecture de la sortie, le démarrage en tant qu'administrateur ou utilisateur différent, la capture des exceptions et aussi le démarrage de tout cela de manière asynchrone, y compris l'annulation. L'avantage est que la lecture de la sortie est également possible pendant l'exécution.

public class ProcessSettings

    public string FileName { get; set; }
    public string Arguments { get; set; } = "";

    public string StartAsUsername_Domain { get; set; }
    public bool DontReadExitCode { get; set; }
    public bool ThrowExceptions { get; set; }
    public CancellationToken CancellationToken { get; set; }
}

public class ProcessOutputReader   // Optional, to get the output while executing instead only as result at the end
{
    public event TextEventHandler OutputChanged;
    public event TextEventHandler OutputErrorChanged;
    public void UpdateOutput(string text)
    {

Answer 5

Voici une autre approche. Concept similaire à svick y Ohad's mais en utilisant une méthode d'extension sur le Process type.

Méthode d'extension :

public static Task RunAsync(this Process process)
{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<object>();
    process.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
    process.Exited += (s, e) => tcs.TrySetResult(null);
    // not sure on best way to handle false being returned
    if (!process.Start()) tcs.SetException(new Exception("Failed to start process."));
    return tcs.Task;
}

Exemple de cas d'utilisation dans une méthode contenant :

public async Task ExecuteAsync(string executablePath)
{
    using (var process = new Process())
    {
        // configure process
        process.StartInfo.FileName = executablePath;
        process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
        process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
        // run process asynchronously
        await process.RunAsync();
        // do stuff with results
        Console.WriteLine($"Process finished running at {process.ExitTime} with exit code {process.ExitCode}");
    };// dispose process
}
