missing pip since 0.3.8

[christian-rauch]

Description

Since 0.3.8 the action fails with pip: command not found.

Expected Behavior

The action continues to work.

Actual Behavior

I am seeing CI failures for workflows that used to work:

Invoking: bash -c,pip freeze
  /usr/bin/bash -c pip freeze
  /usr/bin/bash: line 1: pip: command not found

Does pip3 work?

[christophebedard]

Oh, nevermind, that's a command run by the action.

[christophebedard]

Can you provide a link to some CI job logs or provide details about the platform this was run on? Because I didn't see that in CI for the PR that introduced that command.

[christophebedard]

Also, could you give this a try? #867

Just use: ros-tooling/action-ros-ci@christophebedard/pip-freeze-use-pip3

I cannot share the workflow but I can confirm that this issue does not appear with 0.3.7, i.e. using ros-tooling/action-ros-ci@0.3.7 instead of ros-tooling/action-ros-ci@v0.3.

[christophebedard]

Please let me know if #867 works!

[christophebedard]

There is a potential fix (#867), but I don't know if it works and I can't reproduce myself, so I don't know.

I merged it and released it as 0.3.10/v0.3. Let me know if it works.

Hi I use the ros-tooling/action-ros-ci@v0.3 and the bug is still there for pip3. The workflow is here: https://github.com/flexivrobotics/flexiv_ros2/actions/runs/8889927077/job/24409074067

Invoking: bash -c,pip3 freeze
  /usr/bin/bash -c pip3 freeze
  /usr/bin/bash: line 1: pip3: command not found
Error: The process '/usr/bin/bash' failed with exit code 127

I can confirm this. The error simply changes to pip3: command not found. I guess the action has to install pip first.

Thanks for the link! I see; I then assume you're both not using setup-ros or the setup-ros-docker images. This should work then: #868.

I guess the action has to install pip first.

It's just part of the tools that I thought "had" to be installed, similar to the tools listed here: https://github.com/ros-tooling/action-ros-ci#requirements. However, pip isn't listed there and technically isn't required.

This should work then: #868.

I merged that and released it as 0.3.11/v0.3. I hope it helps. It's getting late here, so I'll check again when I wake up.

Thanks. The latest version fixes the issue.
