nodejs execFile not returning result

Question

I'm trying to call an exe file using childprocess.execFile. It is not throwing any errors but also not returning any result, which is printed when I run the exe directly from command line. Code:

var exec = require('child_process').execFile;
var result = '';
var child = exec('file.exe', ['-arg1'], function(err, d) {  
    console.log('err: '+err)
    console.log(d.toString());                       
});
child.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
    result += data;
});
child.on('close', function() {
    console.log(result);
});

Answer 1

Try below code and also check path of file

const { execFile } = require('child_process');
const child = execFile('file.exe', ['-arg1'], null, (error, data) => {
    if(error) {
        console.log(error);
    }

    console.log(data);
});
