Can be resolved by installing python3-distutils on the the executor.

sudo apt-get install python3-distutils

Expected behavior:

Expected Set parameters step to work out of the box on the cimg/base:stable image. Works on the 0.1.5 version out of the box.

Additional Information:

We are using the cimg/base:stable for the docker executor.

Hi @Oleksandr-Kushchak-i2,

The cimg/base:stable does not contain the dependencies required for this version of the orb. The recommendation is to either use cimg/python:3.8 as it's the default for the orb, or use the base image and install the needed dependencies.

Okay, thank you, closing.
