Shell script within .app bundle errors out-CodePudding

I use a shell script named myapp.command to open an app such as the Microsoft PowerShell app:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh

The script works fine. However, when I put the same script inside a macOS bundle (called myapp.app), it does not work. The error message I get is, myapp.app quit unexpectedly.

Error report reveals that the error occurs in /Applications/myapp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp.command.

Exception type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

Exception Note: EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Application Specific Information: abort() called

How can I fix/troubleshoot this?

CodePudding user response：

pwsh crashes because it is not connected to any tty

A work-around is to tell the Terminal App to launch it:

#!/bin/sh
osascript -e '
    tell app "Terminal"
        do script "/usr/local/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh; exit $?"
        activate
    end tell
'
