Description

Hello,

Script is working great from command line, but I can't make it work from the crontab :-(

I have tried to include it in a script where I would call it like this:
`source /etc/profile

source /root/.bashrc

source /root/.bash_profile

cd /usr/lib/node_modules/csv2html

export PATH="/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/opt/ansible/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/.fzf/bin:/root/bin"

export NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules/csv2html

/usr/bin/node /usr/bin/csv2html /var/www/html/backups/backup_failed.csv >/var/www/html/backups
/backup_failed.html 2>/tmp/failed.log`

Still no way to make it work, it shows
<!-- show nothing -->

instead of the csv data.

Regards,

Nicolas.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied /usr/bin/node /usr/bin/csv2html command under crontab with the listed PATH, NODE_PATH, working directory, input, and output paths. Compare the cron environment and generated HTML with an interactive shell run; done means the scheduled command includes the CSV data rather than an empty result.
