Data Integrity check fails when using an absolute path

Can I run this script on Ubuntu?
I made systemd so that the script runs in the background but I get this error

This is what the file looks like

[Unit]
Description=Comment Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/comms/commentbot/start.js
Restart=on-success
RestartSec=5s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

 

After further investigation it seems like the data integrity check uses relative paths from the current location of the terminal; which is of course incorrect when using an absolute path.

Found a workaround for now - simply define a WorkingDirectory should you also use a systemd service file.
The file from above should look like this:

[Unit]
Description=Comment Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/comms/commentbot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node start.js
Restart=on-success
RestartSec=5s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If you were trying to start directly from a terminal using an absolute path, please make sure you cd into the bot's folder first and then use a relative path like node ./start.js.

Version 2.14.1 is out on the master branch which fixes this issue.
