Script stop working after Debian 8 to 9 update.

[vlycop]

Hello. So i had the updater up and running for a week or two without issue, but i had to update from my debian 8 to 9. I didn't have to much issue, and i still run nextcloud 12 with php5 because i didn't configure php7.0 for now. I don't use any config file, only inline parameter. i also uninstall and reinstall the script with pip3 just to be sure.

This is what i run usealy in my systemd script

cat /etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-news-updater.service
[Unit]
After=default.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=www-data
ExecStart=/usr/bin/nextcloud-news-updater /var/www/nextcloud/

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

but for demo purpose, i will use sudo -u www-data to run command So if i run sudo -u www-data nextcloud-news-updater /var/www/nextcloud/ --loglevel info --mode singlerun i get :

i saw on the readme that it could be the php.ini, and i was thinking it might be using the php7 one now so i tried sudo -u www-data nextcloud-news-updater /var/www/nextcloud/ --loglevel info --mode singlerun --phpini /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini i don't really know if i should use the php5/cli one, but the result look the same.

so i start to think it could be the fact that it's now ruining under python 3.5 ... but i don't really know how to check that.

I'm pretty sure i'v just miss and obvious, already explain issue, and i'm sorry if it's the case for the lost of time. Also, not English, and i'm very bad with conjugation in my own language, so i hop your eyes didn't bleed ^^'

the reason is probably that your executable is not named php. You can try to fix that by simply linking whatever version you use to /usr/local/bin, e.g.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/php7.0 /usr/local/bin/php

I've published version 10.0.0 which lets you configure the binary path via parameter/config, check the readme

Spot on. no quite sure what did i miss that made it soo obvious. i update and change the php to my php5 bin and it's work. php7.0 don't but i think it's about config ^^.

Thank you and have a nice day.
