Trying to use Jenkins to run python-selenium-testng scripts to do website functional testing and have Jenkins collect the testng result. (FYI this is on a ubuntu system)
Having problem getting Jenkins to run the python scripts with either the build shell or the shiningPanda python plugin. The errors from the console are one or two depending on how I configure the tests. 1, the python source can't be found. That appears to semi-solved using the Custom Workplace directory. 2. The biggest issue is when Jenkins does find the source and run the script I get errors that the selenium library can't be found by python. >From testing the python script can be run from the command line by any account except the Jenkins created account. Something about the shell Jenkins spawns to run tests in doesn't include the python lib's everyone else can find. I even su'd into the jenkins account and it won't run the script like all the other accounts can. ShiningPanda python plugin has an option to use global lib's and checking that does not help. So could questions..... 1. Can Jenkins be used like this to run python scripts that launch firefox and testng return results. 2. Assuming answer to question one is yes, What do I need to do to get the jenkins account to find and use the same lib's the rest of the system can? Thanks for any pointer or advise.
