Custom Script failing on execute only

[bentrow]

Hey team,
I running v1.37.6 on ubuntu 18.04.6 and am using a filter to execute a custom python script to post a message to discord. When i run the scripts via command `sudo zmfilter.pl --filter_id=12` (12 being the appropriate filter ID) everything works fine and the message is posted to discord.

However, when I try the execute button in the zoneminder filter, i get an error in the log

`Command 'python3 /home/ben/siddbot/siddbot.py /var/cache/zoneminder/events/4/2021-12-31/554535' exited with status: 1`

I originally thought it was a permissions issue so i gave full access to www-data
$ ls -l siddbot.py
-rwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 889 Jan 3 13:32 siddbot.py

I'm stuck, anyone have any advice on how i can debug this better?
Thanks in advance

Try it as that user - sudo -u www-data

If im reading this right user www-data doesnt have the discord package, i must have installed it local to the user id i used to write the script. I'm going to tinker and will post back when i get the package installed correctly.

Thanks again,

Yes, it can't find that Python module.

So i figured out what i did wrong, I was following a tutorial to get the discord bot set up and installed it using

$ pip install -U discord.py

to fix my mistakes i uninstalled using the following:

$ pip3 uninstall discord.py
$ sudo pip3 install discord.py

then for some reason i needed to reinstall aiohttp as well:

$ sudo -H pip3 install aiohttp

and now all is well.

Thanks again,
