run django manage.py command in cron

I've written few management commands to run from cron. I'm using pipenv virtual environment

running from terminal directly is working great.

cd <project_path> pipenv run python manage.py <my_command>

I added same script as cron

cd /home/project_path && pipenv run python manage.py <my_command>

But this is giving error as

/bin/bash: pipenv: command not found

I also tried following command

 cd /home/project_path && python manage.py <my_command>

which is giving error as

File "manage.py", line 14
    ) from exc
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Solution

  • what solved my issue is setting absolute path to every module like

    cd <project_path> && /root/.local/bin/pipenv run /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/myproject-IuTkL8w_/bin/python manage.py <my_command>
