Configure .travis.yml to support mysql-connector-python

Question

I am using python 2.7.11 on TravisCI and I want to configure TravisCI to work properly. But travis CI fails on

import mysql.connector

I have tried adding

pip install mysql-connector-python==2.1.3 --allow-external mysql-connector-python

to my .travis.yml. However, travisCI report that

--allow-external

is deprecated and has no effect. If I remove it the

--allow-external

it still fails. Also no matter what version I change it to it also will never install the mysql-connector-python.

Does anyone know how I configure my .travis.yml to get TravisCI to work with mysql.connector?

Here is full file:

language: python
python:
- 2.7.11
install: pip install pymongo Flask flask-cors tornado coverage codeclimate-test-reporter ddt mysql-connector-python==2.1.3
script: 
- python -m unittest discover tests

Or more `.travis.yml` context? I'd there a `install: ` prefix on the line you posted? — Mark A. Fitzgerald, May 11 '16 at 01:32
Also, have you tried using a `requirements.txt` as mentioned at https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/python#Dependency-Management? Can that work for your use case? — Mark A. Fitzgerald, May 11 '16 at 01:33
...just added full .travis.yml file to question...I'm not sure how simply putting the mysql-connector-python would make any difference. — Brent, May 11 '16 at 01:33

Looks to me like 2.1.2 may not be hosted at PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-python only shows 2.0.4 and a 1.x.

I cannot install mysql-connector-python using pip leads me to believe that the package maintainer may not be publishing to PyPI correctly.

Try replacing the package name with a known working package download URL? E.g. https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.1.2.tar.gz? (Latest is 2.1.3 as of time of writing - probably also available via CDN.)

Alternatively, try downgrading to 2.0.4 - it is on PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysql-connector-python/2.0.4.

Thanks! I hadn't realized I could use a URL with pip install...here is the line in my .travis.yml updated. This works: install: pip install pymongo Flask flask-cors tornado coverage codeclimate-test-reporter ddt https://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-Python/mysql-connector-python-2.1.2.tar.gz – Brent May 11 '16 at 10:13
You're welcome. Thanks for confirming the fix worked - should help future Travis CI Pythonistas! – Mark A. Fitzgerald May 11 '16 at 10:53
