Cron not triggering syncing #39

Closed LaikeSF closed 8 years ago

LaikeSF commented 8 years ago

I have followed the Cron Usage section and I can't seem to get this tool working. When I run the command directly, it has no problem running and returning a successful sync message, but when cron attempts to run the command, nothing happens. I've confirmed in the syslog that the following has run

Dec 20 04:40:01 ilp CRON[4074]: (laike) CMD (todoist-habitrpg -u *-**-**_-_-*** -t ****_-_-_-**_-** -a **** -f ~/HabitRPG)

but nothing is actually happening. I've censored out the API keys of course. I've tried to swap the command for a bash script to see if I can get it to return some error message or anything, but I can't seem to get anything back. I am stumped.

Which operating system are you using? Also, can you please run which node and then also jump up to root and run echo $PATH

I'm running Ubuntu on a VPS.

which node returns /usr/bin/node

I did have to symlink using sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node to get things working initially.

echo $PATH returns /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

Thanks for the help.

Based on https://github.com/kusold/todoist-habitrpg/issues/20 I tried to adjust the command in cron to use the direct links (in my case, /usr/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/todoist-habitrpg/main.js). This seemed to have solved the problem. This might need to be added to the readme file.

Had this same issue, LaikeSF your fix worked. Ubuntu 16.04.

Awesome. Thanks for reporting. Closing the issue since this seems to be fixed.
