Run Shell Script from Xcode button - swift

Question

I'm trying to get a button in Xcode to run a shell script with clicked.
This works
#IBAction func test(_ sender: NSButton) {
let path = "/usr/bin/say"
let arguments = ["hello world"]
sender.isEnabled = false
let task = Process.launchedProcess(launchPath: path, arguments: arguments)
task.waitUntilExit()
sender.isEnabled = true
}
But when I try this it does not work to run a script from the Desktop
#IBAction func test(_ sender: NSButton) {
let path = "/bin/bash"
let arguments = ["~/Desktop/test.sh"]
sender.isEnabled = false
let task = Process.launchedProcess(launchPath: path, arguments: arguments)
task.waitUntilExit()
sender.isEnabled = true
}
I get this error output in Xcode
/bin/bash: ~/Desktop/test.sh: No such file or directory
If anyone can help me with some help or example that would great. Thank you.

Answer 1

Turn off Xcode sandbox mode, it will fix the issue

Answer 2

func shell(_ args: String) -> String {
var outstr = ""
let task = Process()
task.launchPath = "/bin/sh"
task.arguments = ["-c", args]
let pipe = Pipe()
task.standardOutput = pipe
task.launch()
let data = pipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile()
if let output = NSString(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue) {
outstr = output as String
}
task.waitUntilExit()
return outstr
}
This Function returns output of Bash Script you're trying to run
let cmd = "for i in $(ifconfig -lu); do if ifconfig $i | grep -q \"status: active\" ; then echo $i; fi; done"
Above Code Demonstrate how to use it.
