Run a python script from a separate file on Laravel

I have a folder that consist a python Selenium Appium script and a Laravel folder, here is the folder path:

mobile-automation
   laravel
   app.py

What I'm trying to do is, I want to run the shell script pytest -s app.py from Laravel. So I already create the frontend using Laravel:

welcome.blade.php

<body>
    <div class="container">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary w-100" id="runScriptButton">All Feature</button>
    </div>

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-C6RzsynM9kWDrMNeT87bh95OGNyZPhcTNXj1NW7RuBCsyN/o0jlpcV8Qyq46cDfL" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#runScriptButton').click(function () {
                // Execute an AJAX request to the /run-script route
                $.ajax({
                    url: "{{ route('runScript') }}", // Replace with your Laravel route
                    method: "GET",
                    success: function (response) {
                        alert('Script executed successfully');
                    },
                    error: function (error) {
                        alert('Error: Script encountered an error');
                    }
                });
            });
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

then there's the route

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\ScriptController;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('/run-script', [ScriptController::class, 'runScript'])->name('runScript');

and the Controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ScriptController extends Controller
{
    public function runScript()
    {
        try {
            // Your script execution code here
            $command = '/mobile-automation/app.py';
            exec($command, $output, $returnCode);
    
            if ($returnCode === 0) {
                return response('Script executed successfully', 200);
            } else {
                return response('Script encountered an error', 500);
            }
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            // Log the exception
            \Log::error('Error executing script: ' . $e->getMessage());
            return response('Internal Server Error', 500);
        }
    }
}

When I click the button, it gives an error Error: Script encountered an error and when I check the console:

enter image description here

Any solution on this?

Solution

  • check for file path , that you are executing , use shell_exec() function

        <?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ScriptController extends Controller
{
    public function runScript()
    {
        try {
            // Your script execution code here
            $command = '/mobile-automation/app.py';
            $output=shell_exec($command);
   dd($output);
            if ($returnCode === 0) {
                return response('Script executed successfully', 200);
            } else {
                return response('Script encountered an error', 500);
            }
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            // Log the exception
            \Log::error('Error executing script: ' . $e->getMessage());
            return response('Internal Server Error', 500);
        }
    }
}
