Termux:Tasker bash script doesn't run

[iisti]

Hi,


I've written a test script, which I can run the script via Termux, but for some reason it doesn't run via MacroDroid and Termux:Tasker.

Hardware and software:

• Phone Nokia G11 with Android 11
• MacroDroid v5.26.8
• Termux v0.118.0
• Termux:Tasker v0.6.0

What I've done:

1. Write a script, which should create a file name jou.txt in Termux's storage directory.

   • ~/.termux/tasker $ cat test.sh
     
     #!/usr/bin/env bash
     
     touch /data/data/com.termux/files/home/storage/jou.txt

2. Set executable permission.

   • ~/.termux/tasker $ ls -l
     total 8
     -rwx--x--x 1 u0_a198 u0_a198  86 Aug 26 09:30 test.sh

3. Add a macro which has a trigger "every time an SMS is received from any number".
   • Macro
   • 
   • Termux:Tasker
   • 
   • Termux:Tasker variables
   • 
4. Set permission to "Run commands in Termux envrionment" has been allowed for MacroDroid.
   • 

Does anybody have any tips?

I have been reading that documentation already. Is there some special part that you'd like me to read again?

I have run a script similar way something like one year ago, but now I don't seem to get even a simple script working.

As a first step I would suggest that you try and get this running from Tasker with the plugin. If you are able to get it running ok via Tasker then please report back here.

I got the script running. The culprit was a bad shebang. Took me about 4 hours to realize.

#!/usr/bin/env bash doesn't work with Termux:Tasker even though it works in Termux session.

#!/usr/bin/bash works and it is in script example, but #!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash seems to be recommended.
