Travis CI: error when installing rpy2

问题

I am developing a python package that depends on rpy2. I would like to run test with Travis CI. In .travis.yml I install conda and run tests with green:

language: python

# Be strict when checking our package
warnings_are_errors: true

# command to install dependencies
install:
  # http://conda.pydata.org/docs/travis.html
  - wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -O miniconda.sh;
  - bash miniconda.sh -b -p $HOME/miniconda
  - export PATH="$HOME/miniconda/bin:$PATH"
  - hash -r
  - conda config --set always_yes yes --set changeps1 no
  - conda update -q conda
  # Useful for debugging any issues with conda
  - conda info -a
  # Replace dep1 dep2 ... with your dependencies
  - conda create -q -n test-environment python=$TRAVIS_PYTHON_VERSION numpy scipy matplotlib pandas cython

  - source activate test-environment

  - python setup.py install

# command to run tests
script:
  - green ...

In setup.py:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    version="0.0.0",
    name="...",
    packages=find_packages(),
    install_requires=[
        ...
        "green>=2.0.7",
        "rpy2>=2.7.7",
    ],
)

When Travis CI installs my package I get the following error:

Installed /home/travis/miniconda/envs/test-environment/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tubtrack-0.0.0-py2.7.egg

error: Setup script exited with Error: Tried to guess R's HOME but no command (R) in the PATH.

I am wondering if anyone knows how to solve it? I tried to install r in .travis.yml:

addons:
  apt:
    packages:
    - r

However, it didn't change the error message...

EDIT: In the comments it was pointed that I need to specify at least one source in addons.apt.sources for the APT addon to work and R package is named r-base. I did the following modifications in .travis.yml:

addons:
  apt:
    sources:
    - r-packages-precise
    packages:
    - r-base

Now it seems that rpy2 can find R, but I am still getting an error when it is imported while the tests are run with green:

ImportError: /home/travis/miniconda/envs/test-environment/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC

However,on my laptop it works fine! So I guess the problem is still that rpy2 is not installed properly.

回答1:

The error ImportError: /home/travis/miniconda/envs/test-environment/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC is actually due to readline installed by conda.

This Github issue has more details about the problem.

The workaround that I have verified to work is to add import readline. When my script on .travis.yml calls a python script that only has

import rpy2.robjects

I get the same ImportError: /home/travis/miniconda/envs/test-environment/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC error.

When I use the code below, my build goes green.

import readline
import rpy2.robjects
