Crontab with Pytest having issue

I am trying to automate my pytest script using crontab -e, but not working. I am using the following command:



12 19 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /data/smc/test_file.py  pytest -s test_file.py | tee -a myoutput.log


In other case (without using "pytest"), when I am using python script using crontab -e, that works like:



23 18 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /data/smc/test_file.py


Or, even when I use it manually from the python console, works just fine:



pytest -s test_file.py | tee -a myoutput.log


Can anyone help, thanks!

  • Shouldn't your cron expression be 12 19 * * * pytest -s /data/smc/test_file.py | tee -a myoutput.log?

  • Can you check the logs in myoutput.log and /var/log/messages (given you're using CentOS)?

  • the logs in myoutput.log are only created when I run it manually, but not from cron..I'm using Debian..
