    text
    copied!<p>The goal here is to execute a ruby script (with rake.invoke), within a PHP 'exec' command.</p> <p>I have a working rspec configuration, that executes cleanly (here is the headless rake task eg, but note that it works both headless and 'headed' for the below example)</p> <pre><code>FILE=./../tools/wr_audit_dom.rb WR_DEBUG=1 bundle exec rake local:headless </code></pre> <p>I invoke this rake target and other logic in a ruby file, like this:</p> <pre><code>Rake.application.init Rake.application.load_rakefile Rake.application['local:headless'].reenable Rake.application['local:headless'].invoke &gt; ruby dom_audit_parser.rb (this runs as expected) </code></pre> <p>Everything above executes fine, my tests run and i get my results.</p> <p>HOWEVER, I'd like to execute the ruby script through PHP, so i have the following code to 'exec' the command:</p> <pre><code>$cmd = 'cd &lt;_projectdirectory_snipped_&gt;; ruby dom_audit_parser.rb'; exec($cmd, $results); </code></pre> <p>PROBLEM: It returns no examples run, as if it cannot find them.</p> <p>BUT, I can run the same command (copied from the exec cmd in php) directly in the terminal with all examples being run. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong? </p> <p>The command below shows that the file is being specified and found, no examples are skipped, but nothing is found.</p> <p><strong>output from PHP 'exec' command</strong></p> <pre><code>/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 -S rspec dom_audit_webdriver_spec.rb -f documentation --color Run options: include {:local=&gt;true} Finished in 0.00017 seconds 0 examples, 0 failures </code></pre> <p><strong>output from running the ruby command directly in a terminal</strong></p> <pre><code>/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 -S rspec dom_audit_webdriver_spec.rb -f documentation --color Run options: include {:local=&gt;true} Inspect the webpage to scrape the DOM object -- [LOCAL] Starting firefox : [2013-10-09 16:19:10 -0400] Logging in [2013-10-09 16:19:10 -0400] Opening webpage ..... SNIP -- [LOCAL] quit firefox should find the dom object for the html node Finished in 2 minutes 0.2 seconds 1 example, 0 failures </code></pre> <p>Note that I've tried adding the code to a spec directory and not specifiying the file directly. It finds the file the 'rspec spec' way, but the same issue is observed.</p> <pre><code>├── config.yaml ├── dom_audit_parser.rb ├── dom_audit_portal.php ├── dom_audit_webdriver.rb ├── Rakefile </code></pre> <p>Thank you in advance!</p>
