    Seems like the labs are out of date, I get this error when trying to run the tests for the RSVP app in the container Jenkins agents

    1. + virtualenv rsvpapp --system-site-packages -v
    2. Traceback (most recent call last):

      Hi @mtuli0,

      Thank you for your feedback. The lab exercise and repository will be corrected as needed in a future course update release.

      Regards,

      @mtuli0 I encountered the same problem. After some debugging it turns out that the pip should be upgraded and after that the virtualenv should be installed.

      Update the shell script as:

      pip install --upgrade pip #additional line
      pip install virtualenv #additional line
      virtualenv rsvpapp --system-site-packages -v
      source rsvpapp/bin/activate
      pip install -r requirements.txt
      pytest tests/test_rsvpapp.py
      >

      Alternatively this could be done in the Dockerfile at 8.1 at section:

      >
      RUN apt-get install -y python-pip
      RUN pip install --upgrade pip #additional line
      RUN pip install virtualenv
      >

      In this case the two additional lines in the shell script won't be needed.

      Hi @mtuli0
      I encountered the same problem and after some debugging found that pip must be updated before installing virtualenv

      This can be done in two different ways:
      In the shell script:
      pip install --upgrade pip ## additional line
      pip install virtualenv ## additional line
      virtualenv rsvpapp --system-site-packages -v
      source rsvpapp/bin/activate
      pip install -r requirements.txt
      pytest tests/test_rsvpapp.py

      In the Dockerfile in the 8.1 section:
      '#Install python related package
      RUN apt-get install -y python-pip
      RUN pip install --upgrade pip ## additional line
      RUN pip install virtualenv

      Thank you for your input @GeorgiYadkov. The additional steps will be included in a future course update release to reflect the updated installation process.
