wehappyfew / apend_path_on_runtime.py

Last active September 8, 2015 12:07

The python project is in Jenkin's workspace folder. I want to run a python script on the QA server (Linux).The workspace folder's path must be added (on runtime for now) in the sys.path .That way I can make imports into the script from any module of the project. TODO->For a more permanent solution the path must be hardcoded in a var in the machine.

	__author__ = 'wehappyfew'

	import sys,os,pprint
	# check the sys.path before I add my directory
	print("1: -- ",sys.path)

	if os.name == "posix": # check if the script runs on Linux

	# If I comment it out, it will throw ImportError
	# This path should always be appended on runtime,
