        @Temisola1 the node_helper doesn’t know where it is… but the Modulename does…

        this.path

        so, you can add that to the config info you send down in the typical

        sendSocketNotification(“somevalue”, this.config)

        to pass parameters to the node_helper

          @Temisola1 said in child_process won't execute:

          after running successfully a few times it now returns

          u need to cleanup when the invoked process ends

          process.on('exit', function() {
            if (x) {
              x.kill();
            }
          });

            @sdetweil I just want to recommend the execa package as it solves some issues with “child_process,” like cleaning up when the process exits.

              Thank you all for all your wonderful suggestions. I’m able to run my python script successfully now. Thanks!
