Running shell script in Hazel

In Terminal, once I cd into /users/doug/octopress, the following two scripts run correctly...

Code: Select all
/usr/bin/rake -f /Users/doug/octopress/rakefile generate

/Users/doug/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327@global/bin/rake generate

Hmmm... you shouldn't have to change directories for either of these. Are you seeing anything in the system log?

Those programs may operate using the current directory so you may have to 'cd' in this case. Does everything work if you do the 'cd'?

Nothing in the system log.

Both of the commands run correctly after doing cd /users/doug/octopress in Terminal...

One thing you can try is to do ". ~/.bashrc" (substitute whichever bash/sh config file contains all your environment variable definitions) at the beginning of your script. I wouldn't recommend this in general but it may help narrow down the problem. I'm guessing there's some env var that needs to be set for things to work properly.

hi all. this may be a bit moot. and sorry for the old thread posting.

but i ran into this just now. I had the exact same issue. i'm trying to run 'tvnamer' in this manner: $1 will be a tv show I have.

Code: Select all: /usr/local/bin/tvnamer -v -c /Volumes/Drobo/scripts/tvnamer/tvnamer.json $1 >> /Volumes/Drobo/logs/tvnamer.`date +%Y-%m-%d`.log 2>&1

I then look at my tvnamer log and I see this:

Code: Select all: Invalid path: - Invalid path: - Invalid path: /Volumes/Drobo/torrents/TV/TVUnsorted/New Invalid path: Girl Invalid path: Kryptonite.avi Invalid path: [01x02] Usage: tvnamer [options] <files> tvnamer: error: No valid files were supplied Loading config: /Volumes/Drobo/scripts/tvnamer/tvnamer.json #################### # Starting tvnamer

if i type that into my terminal, it works. it seems to not be recognizing the dash parameters passed into 'tvnamer'?? or maybe i'm doing this wrong. I have the 'shell' input set to /bin/bash.

after reading more posts. I tried adding double quotes around the $1 parameter, and it now works.

I ran into these exact same problems with Octopress. If you want to read the long, ugly tale about how I sorted it out, you can find it here. The summary is that my .bashrc, .bash_profile and .profile were all screwed up. The other thing that helped a lot was to switch from *RVM* to *rbenv*.
