Running python3 and pip commands in Bamboo using Remote Agent

[Chong Jing Hong]

I have a remote agent dedicated to my Bamboo Build Plan. I want to run a python script, which requires pip installation of libraries before the script can execute. I've already added the pip and python executables into the remote agent's capabilities, as such:

system.builder.python.Python38=C:\\Users\\...\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\python.exe

system.builder.py.pip=C:\\Users\\...\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\Lib\\site-packages\\pip

Broken Links:

  tasks:

  - checkout:

      force-clean-build: 'false'

      description: Checkout Default Repository

  - script:

      interpreter: BINSH_OR_CMDEXE

      scripts:

        - pip install BeautifulSoup4

        - pip install lxml

        - pip install requests

        - python3 broken_links.py

  requirements:

    - Python38

    - pip

But, when I run the pipeline, I get the error that pip and python3 are not recognised commands. Please help

Hello @Chong Jing Hong

Your scripts are probably lacking %PATH% declaration. You can either use the full path for each pip and python3 binaries or use the following variable substitution:

- %bamboo_capability_system_builder_py_pip% install BeautifulSoup4
- %bamboo_capability_system_builder_py_pip% install lxml
- %bamboo_capability_system_builder_py_pip% install requests
- %bamboo_capability_system_builder_python_Python38% broken_links.py
