cannot run file in terminal --- Neon3 and Ubuntu 16.04

[dm1seven]

The menu item Run with Gnome Terminal does not show anything. I think the command line for this item is not correct. I tried the command line bellow: it works if I directly call it in gnome terminal with the actual file names, but still does not work from EasyShell in Eclipse.

gnome-terminal --working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc} -e "bash -c ./${easyshell:resource_name}; bash"

Thanks for reporting. I see two possible problems and solutions:

• see [v2.0] run presets with single quotes are not working #124: some commands are broken in 2.0, please verify the testing build of v2.1 from [v2.1] testing of build 2.1.0.v20161220-2025 #135. After upgrading the plugin, check if the command is different. If not, then remove your settings from this command: "EasyShell -> (2) Command -> Gnome Terminal -> Remove"
• see gnome-terminal: change to working directory does not work in LMDE 201403 #6: may be the working directory command-line parameter is not working here too, but it was fixed with add support for setting working directory before executing a command #66 and now the directory is set before executing the line from EasyShell, please verify this setting or provide screenshot from the command edit dialog

If it still not working, please enable the debug output:

and send me the output after executing the command...

I have tested the 2.1 build. I have the same behavior as before. Bellow I have attached the debug messages.
I have tried to directly call the "run" command from the terminal like that:
gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home/marius/work/workspace/cpp11/Debug --command=./'cpp11'
This command does not work. There is nothing wrong with the plugin itself, it's just about the gnome-terminal command above.

Thanks. The log looks good for me. Please check if this helps:

• verify if gnome-terminal has a bug described in issue gnome-terminal: change to working directory does not work in LMDE 201403 #6: enable this checkbox in the command:
  
  it will set working dir before starting gnome-terminal, so this can be removed from command: "--working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc}"
• remove single quotes from command:
  gnome-terminal --working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc} --command=./"${easyshell:resource_name}"
  I've already done it, but will verify it again today at home with my Debian 9.0 system...

I have found the command actually got executed, but nothing is displayed because the terminal closes quickly after the bash script is executed.

I have added: int n; cin >> n; into the code, to wait for the user command and the terminal appeared after that.

[MariusDrulea]

In order to keep the terminal open without cin >> n, I have used the following command pattern:
gnome-terminal --working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc} -e "bash -c ./'${easyshell:resource_name}';bash".

I have found this option at this link
The terminal stays alive with this command.

However, I don't fully like it because when I close the terminal I get the following warning, see the picture.

Here are the parameters: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/gnome-terminal.1.html
I've tried some variants and see no other solution now, like you described:
gnome-terminal --working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc} -e "bash -c ./'${easyshell:resource_name}';bash"
Thanks!

Alternatives:
I've had always problems with using gnome-terminal and use xfce-terminal or sakura that have --hold parameter for this or KDE konsole --noclose:
xfce4-terminal --working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc} --command=./"'${easyshell:resource_name}'" --hold

sakura --execute=./"'${easyshell:resource_name}'" --hold

konsole --workdir ${easyshell:container_loc} --noclose -e ${easyshell:resource_loc}

With Debian 9.0 i cannot execute with the original gnome-command, only with -e "bash -c..." it works!
@MariusDrulea: does the original command from EasyShell works for you with int n; cin >> n; at Ubuntu ?

[anb0s]

Another possibility to hold the gnome-terminal is to call a script with or similar:

#!/bin/sh
'$1'
read -p "Press space to continue..." var_name

I've already some commands that uses this way...

[MariusDrulea]

int n; cin >> n; works in Ubuntu with the original gnome-terminal command, see it bellow. The terminal waits for the user to enter the number.
gnome-terminal --working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc} --command=./"'${easyshell:resource_name}'"

[MariusDrulea]

I have finally found a solution. The command bellow works as expected. The trick was to add exec bash at the end, not just bash.
👍
gnome-terminal --working-directory=${easyshell:container_loc} -e "bash -c ./'${easyshell:resource_name}';'exec bash'"

The explanation is bellow and at the following link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3512055/avoid-gnome-terminal-close-after-script-execution

exec causes the running process to be replaced by the new process, otherwise you will have two bash processes running

Since there is a single bash process running in the terminal, the "Close this terminal?" warning no longer appears.

Cool :) i will add this command as "Run Gnome Terminal (noclose or hold)" for next release too. Thanks!

[anb0s]

will be done with #144
