Aim: Offer docker-desktop feature of showing status of wsl (stopped/running). In Docker Desktop this can be seen in the left bottom corner.
Consequence: Parse output of wsl --list --verbose
Current implementation in main.ts of electron app:
ipcMain.on('cmd', async (event, arg)=>{
const execute = (command, callback)=>{
exec(command, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
callback(stdout);
});
};
// call the function
execute('wsl --list --verbose', (output) => {
event.sender.send('cmd-callback',output)
});
})
Problem:
Current attempt: console.log(args.split(/[
|
|
]/).filter(String))
Current result:
