Error executing script in python in Laravel controller

Currently my scripts work perfectly within the schedule that run at specific times within my server's cron.

The problem is occurring when I try to execute the method inside the controller, this method basically uses a shell_exec () that executes a script in python and this return is what I deal with Laravel.

When I call it from the console or the schedule it works correctly, but when I call the method or even a \Artisan::call('schedule:teste'); it returns the same error saying that it is not encountering the geckdriver.

WhenIrunitinsidetheterminal:itworksperfectly:

ThescriptinPythonisthisone: treasure_direto_precos_taxa_tipulo.py

From what I'm noticing when I run the command inside the controller, it is not using the path of my system. The question is why?

From now on I thank you for all your help.

Your webserver has different environment variables than your shell. To get an idea of how the PATH of your environment is, you can use the getenv function. For example:

echo getenv('path');

To solve your problem, simply use the putenv function by setting the PATH to the geckodriver path before calling the script.

putenv('path', $path_to_geckodriver);
