Version 4 example in ES5

[duongtungls]

Hello, I try to convert your example from ES6 to ES5, but it's not work.

import Sudoer from 'electron-sudo';

let options = {name: 'electron sudo application'},
    sudoer = new Sudoer(options);

/* Spawn subprocess behavior */
let cp = await sudoer.spawn(
  'echo', ['$PARAM'], {env: {PARAM: 'VALUE'}}
);
cp.on('close', () => {
  /*
    cp.output.stdout (Buffer)
    cp.output.stderr (Buffer)
  */
});

/* Exec subprocess behavior */
let result = await sudoer.exec(
  'echo $PARAM', {env: {PARAM: 'VALUE'}}
);
/* result is Buffer with mixed (both stdout

And I tried with Vanila JS also

  var Sudoer = require('electron-sudo').default;
  let options = {name: 'electron sudo application'};
  var sudoer = new Sudoer(options);
  sudoer.spawn('echo', ['$PARAM'], {env: {PARAM: 'VALUE'}}).then(function (cp) {

      cp.output.stdout (Buffer)
      cp.output.stderr (Buffer)

  });

But got error Unhandled rejection TypeError: cp.output.stdout is not a function

Thanks

The (Buffer) part in

  /*
    cp.output.stdout (Buffer)
    cp.output.stderr (Buffer)
  */

was used to indicate that the type of cp.output.stdout and cp.output.stderr is Buffer. It is not valid/working JS here, therefore you can't just uncomment it without getting an error. You are trying to call it.
