Install rbtools into a virtualenv when it isn't already available.
Review Request #15088 — Created May 29, 2026 and updated
The setup step for Jenkins jobs was always running
pip install --user rbtoolsbefore applying a patch. If the workspace
within Jenkins already had a virtualenv this would fail entirely,
and even if not, it was wasteful to do it every time.This now checks whether rbt is already on the PATH and only installs it
when needed. When it is missing, rbtools is installed into a virtualenv
in the workspace (reused across builds if present) rather than into the
user site directory.The rbt patch invocation has also been reworked to pass the command as
an array instead of building a string and then splitting it on whitespace.
Created a Jenkins testbed and verified that the first time a Review
Board job was triggered, it created a virtualenv and installed RBTools,
and thereafeter it reused it.

Might be worth putting this in the rbintegrations release notes with a note about the new plugin? |
