Question

I have the following code skeleton

try {    
...    
...    
sysout("Please provide an input: ");
Thread.sleep(10000); //10 secs time given to the user to give the input. If the user doesn't enter the input it is throwing the exception, which is not being handled (with the custom message)
interact();  //This is a method that belongs to **expectj.Spawn** class
...
...    
} catch (Exception e) {

    System.out.println("You have not given any input!Please try again!");

}

But i still get the following output-

Exception in thread "ExpectJ Stream Piper" java.nio.channels.IllegalBlockingModeException

at sun.nio.ch.ChannelInputStream.read(ChannelInputStream.java:39)
at sun.nio.ch.ChannelInputStream.read(ChannelInputStream.java:92)
at sun.nio.ch.ChannelInputStream.read(ChannelInputStream.java:86)
at java.io.InputStream.read(InputStream.java:85)
at expectj.StreamPiper.run(StreamPiper.java:134)

Is there any other kind of exception i need to handle?

Answer 1

I think scanner is better than BufferedReader.

ExpectJ exp = new ExpectJ(10);
String cmd = "sh test.sh";
Scanner sc = new Scanner();
Spawn s = exp.spawn(cmd);
s.expect("Name");
String answer1 = sc.next();
s.send(answer1 + "\n);
s.expect("Password");
String answer2 = sc.next();
s.send(answer2+"\n");
.

//and so on...
