Launch godot game from another godot program

Question

I am trying to make a launcher for multiple games (running on linux, more specifically Ubuntu.) Trying to open the game file with OS.shell_open(path) or OS.execute(path, args) does not work. The code i am using is as follows:

var PATH = dirs[index].replace("user://", OS.get_user_data_dir()) + "/" + data.binary
        print(PATH)
        OS.execute(PATH, PoolStringArray([]))
        get_tree().quit()

I have checked the path, and it is correct. Is this possible, and if so, what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

var PATH = dirs[index].replace("user://", OS.get_user_data_dir()) + "/" + data.binary
print(PATH)
OS.execute(PATH, [], false)
yield(get_tree().create_timer(1.0), "timeout")
get_tree().quit()

Comments

This gets closer, but still nothing is opening. OS.execute() is returning 2043, if that matters at all. Does it matter if PATH has spaces (they are prefixed by a \ like i am executing it from command line.)

Did some experimentation, removing the spaces from the name ended up working.

Dang you beat me to it
That number is the Process iD in case you wanted to do more stuff with it
