Hi, Here's what you can do if you want to use a thirdparty library in a jython script task
Download the library code https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/d2/e8/0bd80cc9e1422f5449d663479459c3c032ff7acaf6609a63324d23bde9ac/GitPython-3.0.5.tar.gz
untar/unzip and take out the actual module folder from it. In the above case, its the git folder.
Now go under XLR_HOME/lib
folder
Create a new folder called Lib
( case sensitive )
Copy the git module folder under Lib. Will look like this XLR_HOME/lib/Lib/git
Find the jython standalone jar name by doing a file search ls jython*
.
Now run this command to update the jython jar with the contents of the Lib folder
jar -uvf jython-standalone-2.7.1.patch2618.jar Lib
if would give an output like this while it adds the git python module
adding: Lib/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: Lib/git/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: Lib/git/db.py(in = 1963) (out= 802)(deflated 59%) adding: Lib/git/cmd.py(in = 42869) (out= 12482)(deflated 70%) adding: Lib/git/config.py(in = 28415) (out= 8096)(deflated 71%) adding: Lib/git/compat.py(in = 9436) (out= 3080)(deflated 67%) adding: Lib/git/test/(in = 0) (out= 0)(stored 0%) adding: Lib/git/test/test_stats.py(in = 971) (out= 412)(deflated 57%)
The same can be done with XLD and then using it in plugins.
Important: If you want to use a python library under a custom plugin script inside XLRelease, instead of copying to lib/Lib and bundling up, you can bundle up the module inside the plugin jar at the root level. If you are working under ext folder, then you may keep the module under there while using it in the custom scripts backing the custom tasks.
Similar, to above python library. Is there way/example which explains on how to add custom libs written in Java, and also how to import and use in Jython scripts?
Hey @amitmohleji.
So just to confirm, for custom libs bundled with plugin... You need to create folder structure as follows:
my_xlr_plugin/
|___lib/
| |___Lib/
| |___git/
| |___git.py
| __plugin/
| |___doit.py
|___synthetic.xml
Dear, Very good idea to use a git repo to manage snippets around XLR/XLD...
I would like to execute the following simplistic python script from a jython script :
How can I install https://pypi.org/project/GitPython/3.0.5/ to be used from XLR?
