subprocess.Popen get FileNotFoundError but works fine in debug mode

xxyzz · 01-01-2021, 07:10 AM

I get this error on calibre 5.8.1, macOS 11.1:

Code:

File "calibre_plugins.worddumb.database", line 72, in start_redis_server
    subprocess.Popen(['redis-server', '--dir', db_path])
  File "subprocess.py", line 854, in __init__
  File "subprocess.py", line 1702, in _execute_child
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'redis-server'

But this code works well if I run it in the debug mode. The PATH must be different between these two modes.

The modes dont change the path. You are launching one from the terminal and one via launch services. The PATH in launch services is very different from in the terminal.

I change the code to use the absolute path and now it works.
