Jenkins: putting my Python module on the PYTHONPATH

Question

I am using Jenkins to test a Python module nodepy that I develop. However, I get errors like the following:

File \"/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/NodePy/workspace/co         


        

Answer 1

It turns out all I needed to do was follow the answer to this question in order to have Jenkins clone my repo into a subdirectory workspace/nodepy/. Since Jenkins runs the build in workspace, it then finds the package.

When I first did this, it somehow created an infinite recursion of nodepy/nodepy/nodepy/... directories. After I cleared out the workspace, this problem went away.
