Cannot pass arguments to git process

smallC

Hi guys, I'm having problem sending arguments to git process under Linux Ubuntu. This is the code

QProcess process;
connect(&process, static_cast<void(QProcess::*)(int, QProcess::ExitStatus)>(&QProcess::finished), this, &my_class::onProcessFinished);

    const QString git_process_path{"git"};
    process.setWorkingDirectory(repo.location_.path());
    const QByteArray command = prepare_git_command();
    const QStringList list = QStringList() << "config --list";//<<Here, if the arg count is more than one it doesn't work
    process.start(git_process_path, list);

and slot:

void my_class::onProcessFinished(int exitCode, QProcess::ExitStatus exitStatus)
{
    const QString output{process.readAllStandardOutput()};
}

Basically if I do this:

const QStringList list = QStringList() << "status";//<<Here, if the arg count is one it works
    process.start(git_process_path, list);

Then it works, but as soon as I have more than one argument, for exaple:

const QStringList list = QStringList() << "config --list";//<<Here, if the arg count is more than one it doesn't work
    process.start(git_process_path, list);

there is no output.
How to solve it?
Thanks in advance.

That's not the right way to pass multiple arguments.
Why does it use a QStringList if you pass all the arguments in one string?
You should do like

QStringList() << "config"  << "--list"

@smallC said in Cannot pass arguments to git process:

QProcess process;

Where do you create this object?
