Running node from a bash script: output console.log

rated 0 times [ 111] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 5721 / 11 Years ago, mon, february 3, 2014, 12:00:00

I'm running a node script from bash. Something like:

#!/bin/bash

echo Executing mynodescript.js...

node mynodescript.js

Inside mynodescript.js I have a console.log(Hello from mynodescript.js). How can I do to output it on my terminal window? So executing the bash script above would output something like:

> Executing mynodescript.js...

> Hello from mynodescript.js

The following code in your node script should work:
console.log('some text');

If it doesn't, make sure your PATH is correct within the shell script when executing node. The path to your node binary isn't set at the system level (within /etc/paths) then you may need to use the /absolute/path/to/node nodescript.js within the shell script.

If that isn't the issue, verify your node script syntax is correct.
