Releasing macOS app on GCP — Part 5
This is the last part of the series, you can find the rest below:
This is the last part of the series, and it is regarding the issue that happened to me on Bitrise.
Problem Statement:
Step fails on bitrise, due to a non working Python executable.
The weird thing with this issue is that, it doesn’t fail every time you run a pipeline. It’s random.
First time I run the pipeline, it succeeded. But then, I had to test some changes and trigger the pipeline several times in a short period of time. And that’s when I notices that it was passing once, and failing the next time 😟
Solution
No matter what I tried nothing worked.
I set up the CLOUDSDK environmental variable, I digged into Bitrise VM’s, googled my way through. It seemed like no matter what I do it won’t work. I almost gave up. Until, Asad Mansoor, who saw my pain & struggle, suggested me to use one simple command. So just in case you run into same issue, here is a solution for you:
brew reinstall python@2We run the pipeline over 5 times to make sure it works every time. And it did.
Why exactly did it happen?
I assume, that the python was not installed properly on any other machine. Since, simple reinstallation fixed it.
Also keep in mind, you need to add the above line in the Script #1 before the commands that you already have there. So if you were following my series, your script will look like this now:
brew reinstall python@2git clone ssh://your-url/gcloud-SDK.git
bash ./gcloud-SDK/config-gcloud.sh#To be able to use the gcloud in other steps
envman add --key PATH --value $PATH:${PWD}/gcloud-SDK/google-cloud-sdk/bin
Hope it helps, and saves you bunch of time!
