I wanted to try testing Raku code on Windows. I managed to get Windows 11 set up on VirtualBox and the Raku binary installed and I can execute scripts.

However, I cannot seem to get the simplest run command to do anything without returning an error:

run('ls');

results in:

The spawned command 'ls' exited unsuccessfully (exit code: 1, signal: 0)
  in block <unit> at .\test.txt line 5

I also tried with dir command, but had the same problem.

CodePudding user response：

There is no ls program on Windows by default, and dir is not an executable that can be run, but rather a Windows command shell built-in. You could try using shell instead of run, or instead try something like:

run 'cmd.exe', '/c', 'dir'
