Bitrise Build Issue Report template

Description of the issue

We use a custom step in our builds that posts results of the build process on the pull request that is was created by. This step is available here: https://github.com/GetintheLoop/bitrise-steps-bitbucket-approver

It stopped working recently saying that “pip: command not found”, even though I have “pip” described as a dependancy and, according to the build log, its installed successfully during step initialization.

Hi @buildbot-gitl,

Can you please provide the link of a related build? We’ll need more logs :slight_smile:

Sorry, here are links to a couple of recent builds:
https://www.bitrise.io/build/078797b84af7b169
https://www.bitrise.io/build/72640802450779a6
https://www.bitrise.io/build/2c554a9351606053
https://www.bitrise.io/build/e9719ac04071866e

Here is the first build when that error first appeared:
https://www.bitrise.io/build/212e101773702bdd

Here is last successful build on the same day when error started appearing:
https://www.bitrise.io/build/1b195e5d7b32895a

Thank you for you help

Hi @buildbot-gitl,

Thanks for reporting the issue. The python formula installed by brew provides pip and pip2 binaries, but only creates a symlink for pip2 in /usr/local/bin, not for pip, so it’s not in your path and there will be no pip command available.

You can use the pip2 command in your scripts, or you can use a script step before your custom step with one of the following content:

  • create a symlink to Homebrew’s Python 2.7.x’s pip:
    ln -s ../Cellar/python/2.7.14/bin/pip /usr/local/bin/pip (the actual python2 version can be different)
  • a more robust solution would be:
    ln -s pip2 /usr/local/bin/pip
  • you can use an alias:
    alias pip='pip2'
