Cannot run cookiecutter after installing with pip in jenkins-CodePudding

Im trying to install the cookiecutter utility using a jenkins pipeline. I try run this stage:

        stage('Install CookieCutter') {
            steps{
                script {
                     sh'''
                        pip uninstall cookiecutter -y
                        export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
                        pip install --user cookiecutter
                        cookiecutter -V
                     '''
                }
            }
        }

After running this stage i get the following output:

    pip uninstall cookiecutter -y
  Found existing installation: cookiecutter 1.7.3

    cookiecutter -V

I'm ignoring the pip version warning for now as i dont think this has anything to do with this not installing.

What is going wrong here?

So, for some reason your export doesn't work. There may be two reasons for this:

$HOME is not root, which I actually doubt
This Jenkins script behaves like GNU Make. Each line is executed in a different subshell, so your export doesn't really count. Try to execute this as a one liner like this:

        stage('Install CookieCutter') {
            steps{
                script {
                     sh'''
                        pip uninstall cookiecutter -y && \
                        export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH && \
                        pip install --user cookiecutter && \
                        cookiecutter -V
                     '''
                }
            }
        }

Or you can try just this instead as a more concise variant:

        stage('Install CookieCutter') {
            steps{
                script {
                     sh'''
                        pip uninstall cookiecutter -y
                        pip install --user cookiecutter
                        PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH cookiecutter -V
                     '''
                }
            }
        }

Turns out the home directory was not defined properly so replaced $HOME with ~

                script {
                     sh'''
                        pip uninstall cookiecutter -y
                        source ~/.bash_profile
                        export PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
                        pip install --user cookiecutter
                        ls ~/.local/bin
                        cookiecutter -V
                     '''
                }
