sh: 0: Can't open ./simple-script.sh #1002

Hello!
I am using Node version: 10.19.0 and ShellJs version: ^0.8.4 with ubuntu 20.04

I am trying to execute following but it is giving an error (sh: 0: Can't open ./simple-script.sh):

const shell = require('shelljs');

const createAgent = (req, res, next) => {
	let output = 'Testing bash script';
	shell.exec('sh ./simple-script.sh');

	res.status(200).json({
		message: 'Agent created successfully',
		output,
	});
};

module.exports = {
	createAgent,
};

Script includes following lines:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello friends"

Need help to execute bash script with shelljs.

Did you grant simple-script.sh executable permission?

chmod +x simple-script.sh

Or, your shelljs script can do this for you:

shell.chmod('+x', 'simple-script.sh');
shell.exec('sh ./simple-script.sh');

Thanks @nfischer for your reply. But I have already given execute rights to the file by executing following command:
chmod +x simple-script.sh

But nothing changed. I am still getting error.
sh: 0: Can't open ./simple-script.sh

Did you double check you're in the right working directory before calling shell.exec()?

console.log(`The current working directory is ${shell.pwd()}`);
console.log(`Can shelljs see the file? ${shell.test('-f', 'simple-script.sh')}`);

If that's the problem, then you can fix this by calling shell.cd('path/to/correct/directory') before shell.exec().
