Connecting to CircleCI

Installing dependencies failed for me because it ran python3 -m venv venv . venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt all on the same line. I copied your yml file precisely, but it is running all three commands on the same line, causing an unrecognized arguments error. Suggestions?

version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.7

    working_directory: ~/repo

    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: install dependencies
          command:
            python3 -m venv venv
            . venv/bin/activate
            pip install -r requirements.txt

      - run:
          name: run tests
          command:
            . venv/bin/activate
            flake8 --exclude=venv* --statistics
            pytest -v --cov=calculator```

Hi Patrick, sorry for the delay, it took a while to reproduce the error on my end. You have the yml file copied almost precisely, but note the pipe operators after “command:”

CircleCI used the “|” symbol to indicate that there will be multiple lines of commands, and then handles them accordingly. Try that out and let me know if it works!

My build failed due to a line in the requirements, pkg-resources==0.0.0. I looked into this, and apparently it is a known issue with ubuntu: github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4022.

My build passed when I removed this line from requirements.txt. Thanks for the tutorial!

That’s a great catch, thanks for sharing the fix!

My tests are failing while building in CircleCI. Any suggestion?

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
./manage.py test
/bin/bash: ./manage.py: No such file or directory

Exited with code exit status 127
CircleCI received exit code 127

I’m able to solve the problem. Ignore my previous comments.

Hi Naresh, were you able to solve the unit test errors as well?

Glad to know you got it working!

Yes, I’m able to solve it.

Hey @Billa123,

how did you resolve the issue? I have the same error : /manage.py: No such file or directory

Hi, please disregard my previous comment. I was able to solve the issue.

@Billa123, I got that same problem you mentioned in your message on March 24, the “./manage.py no such file or directory” error. How did you fix it?

Hi @Howard. That usually means you are in the wrong directory when you are accessing the manage.py script. So you will need to fix the path.

Hi! I have received a build error: No configuration was found in your project. I run the first build while having a typo in folder, I think it has something to do with cache. How can I solve it?

Hi is there a poetry variant for this config.yml file?

I am having issues with the build in circleci, Build-agent version 1.0.147923-e34ae598 (2022-11-08T15:20:13+0000) System information: Server Version: 20.10.18 Storage Driver: overlay2 Backing Filesystem: xfs Cgroup Driver: cgroupfs Cgroup Version: 1 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-1021-aws Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS OSType: linux Architecture: x86_64

my python environment is 3.9 so in the ymal i changed the docker image to 3.9 instead of 3.7 but it is not working, even i changed it to 3.7 still complaints about invalid reference format… I am not sure which part of the format isn’t right?

Thanks for the tutorial. I just want to point out that circleci uses new images now so the config should be updated to something like this. cimg instead of circleci

docker:
    - image: cimg/python:3.12

Thanks for thinking along and posting this @Zeph Chai! :D
