Error while running python from laravel(PHP)

[shashigharti]

I am trying to execute chatterbot from PHP and not getting the expected result. I am using python3.7 and chatterbot 0.5.5

from chatterbot import ChatBot import sys import requests

bot = ChatBot('Agri', storage_adapter='chatterbot.storage.MongoDatabaseAdapter', logic_adapters=[ "chatterbot.logic.MathematicalEvaluation", "chatterbot.logic.BestMatch" ], output_adapter="chatterbot.output.TerminalAdapter", database='test1' ) response = bot.get_response(sys.argv[1]) print(response)

The response is not sent back to PHP function:

\Log::info("$cmd $message"); $response = exec("python3 customchat.py $message"); \Log::info($response);

Hi @shashigharti, all of the parameters you're passing to ChatBot appear to be correct.

You said that you are not getting the expected result. Are you getting any result? If so, what is the result you are getting?

Hi @gunthercox

Thanks for the quick response. I wasn't getting any errors only an empty result so couldn't debug. After adding debug code:

exec("$cmd $message 2>&1", $retArr, $retVal);

I was able to figure out the issue. The issue was while the function call was made from the POST method(web) nltk was being downloaded in /var/www directory and there was a permission error. The problem is solved.

Thanks for your quick response
