I have tried following the Go Docs in order to call a python script which just outputs "Hello" from GO, but have failed until now.
exec.Command("script.py")
or I've also tried calling a shell script which simply calls the python script, but also failed:
exec.Command("job.sh")
Any ideas how would I achieve this?
EDIT
I solved following the suggestion in the comments and adding the full path to exec.Command().
Did you try adding Run() or Output(), as in:
exec.Command("script.py").Run()
exec.Command("job.sh").Run()
You can see it used in "How to execute a simple Windows DOS command in Golang?" (for Windows, but the same idea applies for Unix)
c := exec.Command("job.sh")
if err := c.Run(); err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error: ", err)
}
Or, with Output() as in "Exec a shell command in Go":
cmd := exec.Command("job.sh")
out, err := cmd.Output()
if err != nil {
println(err.Error())
return
}
fmt.Println(string(out))
~ with the full path? (like I suppose /home/claudiu/...)
First of all do not forget to make your python script executable (permissions and #!/usr/local/bin/python at the beginning).
After this you can just run something similar to this (notice that it will report you errors and standard output).
package main
import (
"log"
"os"
"os/exec"
)
func main() {
cmd := exec.Command("script.py")
cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr
log.Println(cmd.Run())
}
Below worked for me on Windows 10
python := path.Clean(strings.Join([]string{os.Getenv("userprofile"), "Anaconda3", "python.exe"}, "/"))
script := "my_script.py"
cmd := exec.Command("cmd", python, script)
out, err := cmd.Output()
fmt.Println(string(out))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
