Why doesn't shell scripts in Shortcuts see my utilities?


i tried using shortcuts. i wanted to run scripts there, but i constantly get an error that the brew utility was not found. it feels like the scripts run in isolation.

i tried use

  1. brew link php
  2. eval 'brew link php'
  3. sh fileWithMyScript.sh

and always got error. how to fix it?

Solution

  • The brew command is not in macOS default PATH. You will either have to use the full path to the command or set PATH before calling the command:

    /opt/homebrew/bin/brew link php
    PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin brew link php
    PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin cd ~/utils && sh php_8.1.sh
    

    Use a different directory than /opt/homebrew/bin if homebrew is installed elsewhere.
