/bin/sh: line 0: cd: Users/myuserdev/qa-automation/01LoginProject/myuserTC: No such file or directory
This is my crontab command
*/2 * * * * cd Users/myuserdev/qa-automation/01LoginProject/myuserTC && mvn clean test
The project folder exists and has the permission 777, I read the other answers about this problem in other posts but I couldn't fix this problem. I hope you guys can help me.
Horacio, use absolute paths.
*/2 * * * * cd /Users/myuserdev/qa-automation/01LoginProject/myuserTC && mvn clean test
I think is a better practice to use SCRIPTS in CRON.
*/2 * * * * /scripts/cleanhome.sh
cleanhome.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd /Users/myuserdev/qa-automation/01LoginProject/myuserTC && mvn clean test
