How to properly debug and understand why the commands do not work?

Question

bash

Hello.
There is a problem when running job
1 19 * * * /opt/project1/start.sh
in cron.
Job fires BUT commands do not fire

source activate python36
python /opt/project1/Table_Control.py opt/project1/connection.yaml

#!/bin/bash
#clear
#echo "Good morning, world."
source activate python36
python /opt/project1/Table_Control.py opt/project1/connection.yaml

I want to understand what is wrong in the script.
tried to write the output line by line to a file

#!/bin/bash
#clear
#echo "Good morning, world."
source activate python36 > step1.txt
python /opt/project1/Table_Control.py opt/project1/connection.yaml > step2.txt

step1.txt and step2.txt appeared BUT they were empty.

Answer 1

source filename [arguments]
Read and execute commands from filename in the current shell
environment and return the exit status of the last command
executed from filename.
Do you need to run this command?
