Pull request overview
Updates the GitHub Actions CI workflow to install panda-client in user-space to prevent permission issues when pip attempts to write to system directories during pipeline runs.
Changes:
- Add
--userto thepip install panda-clientstep in CI.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
Replace 'pip install --user panda-client' with a git clone from PanDAWMS/panda-client and installation via 'python3 setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/.local', as recommended by upstream. This avoids the permission denied error caused by the custom install_data logic attempting to write to /usr/etc. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/.local places modules under $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/, which is not automatically on sys.path in GitHub Actions. Export PYTHONPATH and PATH via GITHUB_ENV/GITHUB_PATH so subsequent steps can import pandaclient and find installed scripts. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
On Debian/Ubuntu, distutils with --prefix appends an extra 'local/' segment, so --prefix=$HOME/.local lands in $HOME/.local/local/lib/... rather than $HOME/.local/lib/.... Use a clean prefix (/tmp/panda-install) and discover the real site-packages directory via find, making PYTHONPATH correct regardless of Python version or OS path conventions.
