I'm trying to launch a TextEdit app and pass a file path to it to open, but unfortunately, it doesn't work - TextEdit is launched in a regular mode.
Here it is what I'm trying to do:
let workspace = NSWorkspace.shared
let textEditUrl = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/Applications/TextEdit.app")
let file = "/path/to/file.whatever"
let configuration = [NSWorkspace.LaunchConfigurationKey.arguments : file]
// I also tried
// let configuration = [NSWorkspace.LaunchConfigurationKey.arguments :[file]]
do {
try workspace.launchApplication(
at: textEditUrl, options: [], configuration: configuration
)
} catch {
// Left blank
}

There's the good old NSTask
- renamed Process
in Swift.
Process.launchedProcess(launchPath: "/usr/bin/open", arguments: [
"-a",
"TextEdit",
"PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE"
])
