[SOLVED] /bin/sh: 1 : conda: not found error when executing a conda run command through a nodejs script using pm2

Issue

Introduction

I am running a nodejs server in the production environment using pm2. The javascript file a python script upon a prompt using the conda run method. This command errors out with the following message: /bin/sh: 1: conda: not found. However, running the same js file using npx nodemon or simply node works well without any errors.

Detailed Description

The javascript file is as follows

...
command = "conda run -n p2vois python  path_to_python_script_file.py "+variable_with_arguments_for_the_python_script;
...
var pyProcess = cmd.get(command,
                (err, datax, stderr)=> {
                        console.log("here datax: %s", datax)
                        if(err){
                            console.log("python script cmd error: " + err)
                        }
                        else{
                            ...
                        }

This code upon running using the sudo pm2 start server.js command gives an error as follows:

python script cmd error: Error: Command failed: conda run -n p2vois python path_to_python_script_file.py arguments_for_the_python_script
/bin/sh: 1: conda: not found

However, running the same javascript file server.js with npx nodemon or node does not give any error.

Possible causes of error

I believe the cause should be conda trying to run the command through /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash. Another reason could be an underlying path issue while running with pm2. I do not know how to fix this error, so any help would be appreciated.

Solution

Solution

Just removed the sudo privilege for the pm2 command and the code started working again.
