Execute shell/bash commands from Swift

Bash.swift

import UIKit

protocol CommandExecuting {
    func run(commandName: String, arguments: [String]) throws -> String
}

enum BashError: Error {
    case commandNotFound(name: String)
}

struct Bash: CommandExecuting {
    func run(commandName: String, arguments: [String] = []) throws -> String {
        return try run(resolve(commandName), with: arguments)
    }

    private func resolve(_ command: String) throws -> String {
        guard var bashCommand = try? run("/bin/bash" , with: ["-l", "-c", "which \(command)"]) else {
            throw BashError.commandNotFound(name: command)
        }
        bashCommand = bashCommand.trimmingCharacters(in: NSCharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines)
        return bashCommand
    }

    private func run(_ command: String, with arguments: [String] = []) throws -> String {
        let process = Process()
        process.launchPath = command
        process.arguments = arguments
        let outputPipe = Pipe()
        process.standardOutput = outputPipe
        process.launch()
        let outputData = outputPipe.fileHandleForReading.readDataToEndOfFile()
        let output = String(decoding: outputData, as: UTF8.self)
        return output
    }
}

let bash: CommandExecuting = Bash()
if let lsOutput = try? bash.run(commandName: "ls", arguments: []) { print(lsOutput) }
if let lsWithArgumentsOutput = try? bash.run(commandName: "ls", arguments: ["-la"]) { print(lsWithArgumentsOutput) }

Also, perhaps it would be beneficial to factor out which apart from run to allow a consumer to decide what exactly to execute:: https://gist.github.com/gary17/b6c8b662da36cefee7010cd4bdcb2ee6

This works great, thank you for the gist!

I do get an error when using the command, although the given command is still executed. I get /bin/bash: /etc/profile: Operation not permitted before every print out of my original command.

Example code:

let cli = Bash()
if let output = try? cli.run(commandName: "pwd") {
    print(output)
}

I did change the import from UiKit to AppKit since I'm developing for MacOS.
