Perforce trigger script not found

I have a python script trigger.py stored in a depot at //MyDepot/TriggerTest-main/trigger.py. I want this to trigger whenever a user attempts to submit a changelist in //MyOtherDepot.

My trigger spec is as follows:

Triggers:
    block-all-changes change-submit //MyOtherDepot/... "py %//MyDepot/TriggerTest-main/trigger.py%"

I get the following error when I make a submit request from //MyDepot:

    Submit validation failed -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 104762'.
    'block-all-changes' validation failed: 
    Execution Failed: py /tmp/tmp.8904.140611025375744.260.py: No such file or directory
    Submit aborted -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 104762'.

Why is the script not being located?

Solution

  • I'm thinking py isn't in the PATH.

    Hard code your path to rule that out:

    block-all-changes change-submit //MyOtherDepot/... "/usr/bin/py %//MyDepot/TriggerTest-main/trigger.py%"
