Question:
How do I run my python script in my node app?
This works:
From command line, I run this, and it works.
python generatePersonTerraform.py -s http://localhost:8080/api/person/239/exportPersonGeneration
Code that does not work in Node server.js
var PythonShell = require('python-shell');
...
var runPythonRoutine = function (request, response) {
var PythonShell = require('python-shell');
var options = {
mode: 'text',
pythonPath: 'python',
pythonOptions: ['-s'],
scriptPath: '.',
args: ['http://localhost:8080/api/person/135/exportPersonGeneration']
};
PythonShell.run('generatePersonTerraform.py', options, function (err, results) {
console.log(err);
});
}
Error:
at PythonShell.parseError (/root/my-app/node_modules/python-shell/index.js:191:17)
at terminateIfNeeded (/root/my-app/node_modules/python-shell/index.js:98:28)
at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/root/my-app/node_modules/python-shell/index.js:89:9)
at emitTwo (events.js:106:13)
at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:194:7)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:215:12)
executable: 'python',
options: [ '-s' ],
script: 'generatePersonTerraform.py',
args: [ 'http://localhost:8080/api/person/239/exportPersonGeneration' ],
exitCode: 1 }
Note
I have been trying to use https://www.npmjs.com/package/python-shell
EDIT 1
I changed the options to:
var options = {
mode: 'text',
pythonPath: 'python',
pythonOptions: [],
scriptPath: '.',
args: ['-s', 'http://localhost:8080/api/serviceType/135/exportPluginGeneration']
};
and got this error:

args:

But, it also ran and worked, it just stalls the node app. So, if I figure out how to make it not stall then I am all good. The python script seems to build all the files it is supposed to.
