Rust library

$ cargo add which_problem

use std::process::Command;
use which_problem::Which;

let program = "bundle";
Command::new(program)
    .arg("install")
    .output()
    .map_err(|error| {
        eprintln!("Executing command '{program}' failed. Error: {error}");

        match Which::new(program).diagnose() {
            Ok(details) => println!("Diagnostic info: {details}"),
            Err(error) => println!("Warning: Internal which_problem error: {error}"),
        }
        error
    })
