🐞 Description of the bug

This might be a user error on my end, but I am trying to update from pyansys 2024.1.7 to 2024.2.0 for Ansys Notebook. We are using poetry to manage our packages, but 2024.2.0 fails because I think pyworkbench relys on wmi which requires pywin32. I don't think this will work on linux, which is what our notebook image is based on using python 3.9.12.

Most packages that have pywin32 as a requirement with the sys_platform being windows like this:

However, wmi adds the dependency like this:

If this is just an issue on my end, please just close the issue.

Hmm that might be because you are using conda I guess... Using pip directly installation works fine, you can check this in the wheelhouses we build. So it is installable in Linux as well - see for example https://github.com/ansys/pyansys/actions/runs/9874700254/job/27269666702

Nonetheless I agree this problem has to be solved - however I think it is a PyWorkbench issue. Transferring it to them.

See https://github.com/ansys/pyansys/actions/runs/9874700254/job/27269665551#step:4:519 specifically where this wmi package gets installed in Python 3.9

[chrisg564]

I guess this may lie in the way poetry resolves package dependencies. My build action doesn't even try to download wmi, it tries to get pywin32 before and fails to find any versions that work for my environment.

The fix is part of release 0.5.0.
