Problem: I have a Perl script in my AIR App's install directory that needs executable permissions on a Mac.
Solution: Chmod the file in my AIR App.
My code looks something like the following:
if (Capabilities.os.indexOf("Mac OS") > -1) {
var dlFile:File = File.userDirectory;
var _chmod:File = new File("/bin/bash");
dlFile = new File(file);
var nativeProcess:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
var chmodStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
chmodStartupInfo.executable = _chmod;
var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
args.push("-c");
// Trace so I can make sure the command and path are correct in the debugger
trace ("\"chmod ugo+x '"+dlFile.nativePath+"'\"");
args.push("chmod ugo+x '"+dlFile.nativePath+"'");
chmodStartupInfo.arguments = args;
nativeProcess.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExitError );
chmodStartupInfo.executable = new File(file);
var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
process.start(chmodStartupInfo);
I really hope this helps someone else.
