I’m writing a C# code in Visual Studio Code on Windows 11 to run an application from my WSL Ubuntu and saves the output as a string file.

I’ve already installed WSL and Ubuntu. When I write the following commands directly on my WSL Ubuntu terminal, they produce the expected results.

root@DESKTOP-JCGMG2B:~# cd ENHSP-Public/
root@DESKTOP-JCGMG2B:~/ENHSP-Public# java -jar enhsp-dist/enhsp.jar -o Domain-numerical.pddl -f Problem-numerical.pddl -ha true -s wastar -h hmrp -wh 4

To run these two commands from my VSCode, I wrote the following function:

   public static string RunWSLCommand(string command)
{
    var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
    {
        FileName = "wsl",
        Arguments = $"-d Ubuntu -e "{command}"",
        RedirectStandardOutput = true,
        UseShellExecute = false,
        CreateNoWindow = true
    };

    var process = new Process
    {
        StartInfo = startInfo
    };

    process.Start();   

    string output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
    process.WaitForExit();

    return output;   

}

Unfortunately, I’m only getting output when I use the "ls" command. For example, the command
"cd ~; ls" doesn’t produce any output.

Can anyone help me with this? How can I correctly execute my application from Ubuntu using this C# function?

Thank you.

I have also tried to give a bash file as input. But it doesn’t work and I don’t understand why.
