Different behavior of repl & julia for run() or rather pipeline()

General Usage
1

Why is the result different & is this the correct behavior?

The following command

readstring(pipeline(`ps -eo command`,`grep blablabla`,`wc -l`))

where blablabla is a name for a process which doesn’t exist at the moment,
when run in REPL gives always the correct result

“1\n”

what is the grep cmd itself.

But execute a script which have the exact same command inside throws always the error

ERROR: LoadError: failed process: Process(grep blablabla, ProcessExited(1)) [1]

what is different and maybe not correct? Or what I’m doing wrong?

Used julia version 0.6.2

Thx for reading and any hints!

Huuhuu, tock tock :wink:

No hints nor explanations?

Can someone confirm that behavior?
Should I open a bug in github?
Or is this an user fault?

Thx for reading & answering.

On version 0.7, it appears to work how you want it to.

julia-0.7> read(pipeline(`ps -eo command`,`grep blablabla`,`wc -l`), String)
"       1\n"

shell> cat /tmp/temp.jl
read(pipeline(`ps -eo command`,`grep blablabla`,`wc -l`), String)

julia-0.7> include("/tmp/temp.jl")
"       1\n"

Thx for testing. I saw that readstring is now deprecated.

Wunderful that it is working properly under 0.7

THX a lot and SOLVED!
