In my shell script I cannot invoke ant, or mv or cp commands,
but the same commands execute on terminal. Below is my script:
sample.sh file
#! /bin/sh
cp filename.so filename_org.so
android update project -p .
ant clean
ant release
PATH is set in the .bashrc file:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/
cp, mv, ant are working only under terminal not via script.
As your script is a shell script (/bin/sh), then your PATH entries in .bashrc will not be read as that is for the bash (/bin/bash) interactive shell.
To make your PATH entries available to /bin/sh scripts run by a specific user, add the PATH entry to the .profile file in that users home directory.
Additionally you could add the full path for each of your commands within the script:
/bin/cp filename.so filename_org.so
Or set the PATH variable including all the required $PATHS at the beginning of your script.
PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:xxx
export PATH
PATH in the proper place instead of .bashrc. Changing the script to be a bash script will not make any difference: .bashrc is only loaded by interactive shells.
-ti, typing the command manually, but not when you specify it as the command: you might be mapping a volume using -v onto your container in a way that wipes out the path to what you were trying to run.
source ~/.bash_rc in the script rather than setting the path directly. Any solution is a trade off.
you can do one simple thing if you have small script and finish your work asap
go on command line use below command
which your_command
above command will print output including path use that command direct
which is a nonstandard utility; whether it tells the actual truth, or even exists at all, is system-dependent. POSIX specifies type and command -v as portable replacements.
Had the same issue while running a binary whose path is set in bashrc.
Solved the issue by doing the following:
Add the binary or add a link to the binary in /usr/bin.
ln -s [path_to_binary] [name_of_executable]
Then check using
ls -l
You can remove the entry form bashrc.
android/ant, are these binaries in /usr/bin?
