Does the script file have a shebang? (Something like #!/bin/sh
as the first line)
That's what was missing. Thank you!
So it works now? If so, then glad to be of help.
Just remember that if your shebang points to sh, you can't rely on bash-specific features. The shebang line basically tells the kernel to run your file with the specified program. So, for example, a file with #!/bin/cat
will print the full contents of the file (including the shebang) and #!/bin/echo
will print the command line. (something like ./script arg1 arg2) As the echo command does not try to interpret arguments as paths, the content of the script would be ignored in that case.
Yeah, both the test-script that just echos and the real script I was trying to get to run now work.
I'm guessing when I run it from the terminal I'm already in the context of bash, so the script runs, but when Lutris runs the script I don't have this context?
Do you have space in the path of your script?
Is it executable?
There is no space in the path.
And it is executable, if I paste the exact line from the config-dialog into a terminal the script runs as expected and creates the text-file.
Just to be sure: this is a script, right? Sitting somewhere? Not just a command put directly in the config?
I think you might have to ask in https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues I'm out of ideas
