error pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt

[chrisbangun]

Rasa version:

Rasa X version (if used & relevant):

Python version: 3.7

Operating system (windows, osx, ...): osx

Issue: encountered some errors with dependencies compatibility issues while using pip3 in conda virtual environment. Apparently the pip3 doesn't refer to the pip in the virtualenv.

Error (including full traceback):

ERROR: rasa-x 0.20.2 has requirement rasa~=1.2.5, but you'll have rasa 1.3.6 which is incompatible.
ERROR: rasa-x 0.20.2 has requirement sanic~=19.3.1, but you'll have sanic 19.6.3 which is incompatible.
ERROR: tensorflow-metadata 0.14.0 has requirement protobuf<4,>=3.7, but you'll have protobuf 3.6.1 which is incompatible.

  Found existing installation: wrapt 1.10.11
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'wrapt'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Command or request that led to error:

pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt

Content of configuration file (config.yml) (if relevant):

Content of domain file (domain.yml) (if relevant):

The above errors can be fixed by using pip assuming that we installed python3 in our conda virtualenv. However, I noticed that the make prepare-tests-macos uses pip3 which refers to the global pip3 not in the conda env, hence gave similar errors above.

Not sure if this is a bug or whether I missed something. Thanks

Thanks for the issue, @ricwo will get back to you about it soon!

You may find help in the docs and the forum, too 🤗

Hi @chrisbangun, this seems to be tensorflow issue. Can you please try if the following works:

pip install wrapt --upgrade --ignore-installed
pip install tensorflow==1.14.0

(from https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/30191#issuecomment-516192882)

I can see you're trying to install rasa x 0.20.2 with rasa 1.3.6 - I'd recommend you upgrade to rasa-x==0.21.2 and rasa==1.3.7. I hope that helps!

[chrisbangun]

hi @ricwo , thanks for the response. As for the rasa-x, I didn't install it explicitly (manually). I just execute the pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt after creating my conda environment.

I'll try the suggestion above, however, I would like to point out that if I changed it to pip, it works just fine.
