I want to get variable values from jenkins in my python code for desired capabilities

I want to pass desired capabilities from jenkins to sauce lab

I have written my code in python

desired_caps = {}
desired_caps['platform'] = os.getenv('platform','SELENIUM_PLATFORM')
desired_caps['browserName'] = os.getenv('browserName','SELENIUM_BROWSER')
desired_caps['version'] = os.getenv('version','SELENIUM_VERSION')
context.browser = webdriver.Remote(
    command_executor='http://USER_NAME:KEY@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub',
    desired_capabilities=desired_caps)

Getting this error on jenkins while running the build:

Solution

  • You seem to be using os.getEnv wrong.

    os.getenv('version','SELENIUM_VERSION') should most likely be just os.getenv('SELENIUM_VERSION')

    The second parameter of the function is default value, the first is the environment variable you want to get. https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/os.html#os.getenv

    Now what happens is that you try to get the value of an environment variable called version, which does not exist, and then it defaults back to the literal string 'SELENIUM_VERSION'.
