My scripts are working when building from package, but not from source.  
Here is the docker file I use after building CODE using from-source-gh-action/Dockerfile

```auto
FROM imagem/code:latest

# Default: no
ARG fromSource

# UTF-8 locale is needed to handle file names with non-ASCII characters
ENV LC_CTYPE C.UTF-8

USER root

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget && \
    wget -q https://collaboraoffice.com/downloads/gpg/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg -O /usr/share/keyrings/collaboraonline-release-keyring.gpg
	
COPY ./collaboraonline.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/collaboraonline.sources

RUN apt update && \
    apt install -y collaboraofficebasis-python-script-provider collaboraofficebasis-pyuno

COPY ./python_scripts/PSweb.py /opt/collaboraoffice/share/Scripts/python

COPY --chown=104:106 fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype/more/
COPY --chown=104:106 fonts /opt/cool/systemplate/usr/share/fonts/truetype/more/

EXPOSE 9980

USER 100

I’m getting this error in the browser’s console when calling python scripts:

Hii @mrenaud

It looks like the Python script handler is failing to locate or access your script.

**Check File Path & Location**

Your Dockerfile copies `PSweb.py` to:

```auto
/opt/collaboraoffice/share/Scripts/python

```

But your script call uses:

```auto
vnd.sun.star.script:PSweb.py$removeSelectedComment?language=Python&location=share

```

- Verify if the script actually exists in `/opt/collaboraoffice/share/Scripts/python` inside the running container:

```auto
docker exec -it <container_id> ls -l /opt/collaboraoffice/share/Scripts/python/

```

If it’s missing, the copy might not be working.
