Running python script from PHP, works untill I add Playwright module – Plesk

I’m running a python script from my webserver initiated by PHP. If the python script is simple, for example, print Hello World, it will execute flawlessly.

However, as soon as I add the playwright library and do anything, the server will not run the script…

Does anyone have a quick fix?

I am running test.php which is:

<?php

$command = escapeshellcmd('python3 test.py');
$output = shell_exec($command); 

echo $output;

?>

If test.py =

print(5)

Then output equals "5"

If test.py =

from playwright.sync_api import Playwright, sync_playwright, expect


def run(playwright: Playwright) -> None:
    browser = playwright.chromium.launch(headless=True)
    context = browser.new_context()

    # Open new page
    page = context.new_page()

    # Go to 
    page.goto("https://inzamelhelden.nl/beheer/rapportageplus.php")


    browser.close()

with sync_playwright() as playwright:
        run(playwright)

print(5)

Then there is no output. The script runs fine if I run it from the command line of the server.

I don’t know how to check what the error is, the script runs fine from command line and there is no php in the error log. I am running plesk

EDIT:

[![Running from the console][1]][1]

Here I am running the following script from the console:

from playwright.sync_api import Playwright, sync_playwright, expect


def run(playwright: Playwright) -> None:
    browser = playwright.chromium.launch(headless=True)
    context = browser.new_context()

    # Open new page
    page = context.new_page()

    # Go to 
    page.goto("https://inzamelhelden.nl/beheer/rapportageplus.php")


    browser.close()

with sync_playwright() as playwright:
        run(playwright)

print(5)

As seen, it runs and outputs the 5. However I know run it from the PHP script which is ran from a html page on the website.

Now changing the script to

print(5)

I run it from the console:

~~@~~:/var/www/vhosts/~~/httpdocs# python3 test.py
5

Censored for privacy reasons. I know run that script from the html page and:

It outputs the 5.

This is pretty much everything I have. The php error log shows empty, the console does not return a error for both scripts. The only thing that changes is the usage of playwright
