Sometimes, when trying to run a command, you may find the following exception thrown:
InvalidOperationException:
Failed to obtain the handle when starting a process.
This could mean that the target executable doesn't exist or that execute permission is missing.
This is evident of the fact that internally a call to Process.Start()
has returned false
, which signifies that .NET could not obtain the handle to the process you tried to start. The reasons, however, can vary.
Here are some potential causes:
- Executable file doesn't exist (Windows 10)

- Executable signed with a hardened runtime (macOS)

- Execution permission is missing (Linux)
