1289879 - Make sure mach in the interactive worker uses the test package's virtualenv

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

I realized that the mach environment in the interactive worker wasn't using the proper virtualenv (in /home/worker/workspace/build/venv). This manifested in an ImportError: No module named 'requests'.

Even though most of the packages (except requests) are already added to sys.path by the mach bootstrap, it's definitely best if we simply re-use the virtualenv altogether.

I found the easiest way to get mach to use the virtualenv is to add /home/worker/workspace/build/venv/bin to the $PATH.

There are some packages like 'requests' that are bundled in the mozharness venv, but not in the test
package. It would be easy to manually add these to sys.path in the mach bootstrap script, but it's
much nicer to simply activate this virtualenv in the first place.
