MMM-GoogleAssistant autostart

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

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

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’

@poopyurinal I will have to work on this

@poopyurinal Have you looked into all closed issues on the github? https://github.com/gauravsacc/MMM-GoogleAssistant/issues/1

poopyurinal

I just looked at them but am not sure of the implications of them. I was able to get my magicmirror to work with MMM-googleassistant with one command via command line:

/home/pi/env/bin/python3 -u /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py

Does that help make it easier to autostart in another script? Definitely beyond my abilities at this point. I definitely appreciate your continued effort!

@poopyurinal said in MMM-GoogleAssistant autostart:

/home/pi/env/bin/python3 -u /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi/assistant.py

so, put that command as the 1st in the little script you wrote…
and the second command starts MM…
