MMM-GoogleAssistant autostart

Sorry, can you go into a little more detail on that? How would I create that script?

sdetweil

@poopyurinal edit a new file, add the two lines to it, and save.

The do

chmod +x ????

Where ??? is the name of the file you just created

Then make that file name the name of the exec script.

poopyurinal

Do you mean a shell script? Or a python script?

sdetweil

@poopyurinal shell script

poopyurinal

In the ExecStart field of the service, what is the command I need to run before the path? My shell script is in /home/pi/testerscript.sh. What command do I need to run that?

sdetweil

@poopyurinal edit the script again and add a new 1st line

#!/bin/sh

Because it is executable, the 1st line will be checked, and if the script processor is defined, it will be used

The default is also /bin/sh

poopyurinal

I edited the script as you suggested, but it is not starting after reboot. If I run it from the command line, I get:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ /home/pi/testerscript.sh
/home/pi/testerscript.sh: 2: /home/pi/testerscript.sh: source: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py”, line 25, in
import google.oauth2.credentials
ImportError: No module named ‘google’

The part after the “Traceback” is the same error I got if I tried to run the /path/to/assistant.py without first running:

source /env/bin/activate

It seems like the shell script is not running the second command within the first. If I run source /env/bin/activate, my command line is preceded by (env). Is there some way to force that within the script?

sdetweil

@poopyurinal the shell script cannot find the command ‘source’.

so THAT is the 1st problem

try changing line 1 to

#!/bin/bash

to use bash instead of sh
I see the same problem here using sh

poopyurinal

Sorry for my delayed response, I didn’t have time to look into this yesterday.

Now I get:

/home/pi/testerscript.sh: line 2: /env/bin/activate: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py”, line 25, in
import google.oauth2.credentials
ImportError: No module named ‘google’

sdetweil

@poopyurinal I will have to work on this
