How to execute shell script from hubot
bash, coffeescript, hubot, linux, shell
Solution
For reference: the answer was
build = spawn '/bin/bash', ['test.sh']
Dah
Problem
I got my first hubot up and running, and wrote my first few scripts based on the existing examples. My existing workflow, which I would like to integrate with hubot, is essentially based on several shell scripts, each one of them performing one task. The task can be relatively complex (git/svn checkout, compiling code with gcc, and running it). How can I execute a bash script with hubot? I have seen this question, but it only addresses simple commands such as `ls`. I tried ``` build = spawn 'source', ['test.sh'] build.stdout.on 'data', (data) -> msg.send data.toString() build.stderr.on 'data', (data) -> msg.send data.toString() ``` without any luck: ``` Hubot> execvp(): Permission denied ``` I checked the obvious things (`-rwxr-xr-x` permissions), and `export HUBOT_LOG_LEVEL="debug"`. I am running hubot with the same user that owns the bash scripts. Thanks.
