"Failed to find required executable git" when using launch daemon to run ansible-pull

[Ye Na Rhee]

I'm getting these errors when I set launch daemon to run ansible-pull, and it works well when I run the script directly in terminal.

Starting ansible-pull at 2015-08-27 11:46:47

localhost | FAILED >> {

    "failed": true, 

    "msg": "Failed to find required executable git"

}

The launchd file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"

  "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

    <key>Label</key>

    <string>com.myprogram.ansiblepull</string>

    <key>ProgramArguments</key>

    <array>

    <string>{{ workdir }}/ansible-pull.sh</string>

    </array>

    <key>StartInterval</key>

    <integer>600</integer>

    

    <key>RunAtLoad</key>

    <true/>

    <key>StandardOutPath</key>

    <string>/var/ansible/log/ansiblepull.out</string>

    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>

    <string>/var/ansible/log/ansiblepull.err</string>

</dict>

</plist>

The path to git is /usr/local/bin/git.

Thanks in advance!

I solved it by including the PATH variable in the launchd file:

    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>

    <dict>

    <key>PATH</key>

    <string>/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin</string>

    </dict>
