I need to execute code with admin rights at many places. I find sudo.exe and successfully prompt user for permission and password. I still could not figure out how exactly to use sudo.exe. As I am getting same error of permission denied while deleting a file that need admin permission. That is how my code looks like:
const fs = require('fs')
var sudo = require('sudo-prompt');
var options = {
name: 'Electron',
};
sudo.exec('echo hello', options,
function(error, stdout, stderr) {
if (error) throw error;
// Code that I want to run with admin rights
fs.unlinkSync("/private/var/log/fsck_hfs.log", (err) => {
alert("File succesfully deleted");
});
}
);
I think this method can only be used to run command, like echo hello in this case. What if I actually want to execute a chunk of code instead of a command? Does this method works or these is any other approach available?
Is there a better method available in Electron to get privileges?
