Dataiku Plugin Code Environment Not Properly Setup

sjvantilburg

I'm creating a plugin that requires calls to an API and I need to install a specific version of the package for my plugin.

When creating a plugin, I set up a code environment, and in the desc.json, include the necessary fields.

{
  "acceptedPythonInterpreters": ["PYTHON36"],
  "forceConda": false,
  "installCorePackages": true,
  "installJupyterSupport": false
}

Inside of my requirements.txt, I also have the specific package instructions.

When I run the plugin inside of a project, the API is being called to a different package than the one requested. Looking back at the plugin summary, I notice this warning:

Is there a way I can ensure I am setting up the environment properly?

Hi,

After defining the plugin code-env, have you built it from the "Summary" section of the plugin ? You should have a part of the screen looking like this :

If you click on "create a new one", DSS will build a code env according to your specs and attach it to the plugin. Note that the plugin execution will fail until the necessary code env is built.

Yes, though is there any documentation on what is required to build to the specs? I've included the interpreter specification in desc.json and the necessary packages in requirements.txt yet I still receive that notification.

Hi,

The plugin code-env documentation is accessible here: https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/plugins/reference/other.html#code-environments you will see that in the spec folder you just need a requirements.txt file with requirements written as you would do in a regular code env in DSS. Your desc.json file looks fine to me.

If you need more plugin examples, feel free to have a look at this github public repo: https://github.com/dataiku/dataiku-contrib containing DSS plugins. A code env example can be found here: https://github.com/dataiku/dataiku-contrib/tree/master/googlesheets.

Which package are you trying to install ?

The package is googleads==26.0.0
