ProcessBuilder gives a “No such file or directory” on Mac while Runtime().exec() works fine

Question

I have an application, running on the Playframework, which needs to encode some video files. I used

Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(execCode)
         


        

Answer 1

You need to specify the arguments as separate Strings:

new ProcessBuilder("cmd", "arg1", "arg2", ...);

The constructor accepts String, varargs, and List<String>.

See ProcessBuilder documentation.
