Set bash environment variables so rundeck user can execute Python virtualenvwrapper under command

[Hank Huang]

I wanted to be able to run Python virtualenv commands directly in "command" under workflow steps. I realize I needed a way to set environment variables for the rundeck user so commands like "workon" can be preloaded. I read it in the documentation somewhere that to set environment variables, you can do it in /etc/rundeck/profile , so I added the following 2 lines to the end of that file:

export WORKON_HOME=/var/lib/rundeck/.virtualenvs

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Some how the second line does not have effect and I couldn't figure out why. If the second line have worked, I will be able to execute the command "workon" but the log output tells me that the command is not found:

00:08:36		4. see if workon is available	/bin/sh: workon: command not found
00:08:37			Result: 127
00:08:37			Failed: NonZeroResultCode: Result code was 127
00:08:37			Execution failed: 52 in project digitalocean_management: [Workflow result: , step failures: {4=Dispatch failed on 1 nodes: [localhost: NonZeroResultCode: Result code was 127]}, Node failures: {localhost=[NonZeroResultCode: Result code was 127]}, status: failed]

But if I manually source the virtualenvwrapper.sh in the command step, it will work. But I want to look for a way to source the bash function ahead of time so I don't have to do the extra step over and over in my "command" steps like following.

If /etc/rundeck/profile is not the right way to do it, how should I have this done?

Thanks

Hi Hank,

The source and execution have to be inside the same command step. Each command step occurs in a separate ssh execution so context is not persistent.

Thanks
