Unable to use latest approvaltests due to missing version.py

[jmasonlee]

I am trying to import approval_utilities into my internal pypi. When I try, it fails with this error:

[2023-01-26T03:11:17.957000] FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/pip-req-build-as484003/approvaltests/version.py' This is caused by the following command failing: [2023-01-26T03:11:18.020000] subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '('/venvs/venvpython3.7/bin/pip', '--verbose', 'wheel', '-w', '/tmp/tmpasewml3n', '--no-deps', '/tmp/tmp2idqugma/approval_utilities-8.1.0.tar.gz')' returned non-zero exit status 1. `

We should figure out why it's missing

To reproduce:

Download the latest approval_utilities tar.gz from https://pypi.org/project/approval-utilities/#files

untar and unzip

cd into the exctracted directory

python3 setup.py egg_info

Just wondering if there is a work around for this @jmasonlee . It looks like our project has just encountered this issue. Thanks

[jmasonlee]

@paulgale-dev v8.2.1 will fix this issue for you

[jmasonlee]

@paulgale-dev if you run into issue 138 after using 8.2.1, we have a session set up to work on it tomorrow morning 7am-9am MT. Let me know if you want to join.

Thanks for the quick reply @jmasonlee . Just curious if pytest-approvaltests 0.2.4 and the 8.2.1 work together. I'll clean up my venv and try again.

[jmasonlee]

I've been using 8.2.1 directly, without the additional pytest-approvaltests package. @nitsanavni @isidore do either of you know if the pytest-approvaltests is still required?

[paulgale-dev]

@jmasonlee thanks for the follow up. We will track, but we were able to move forward by specifying the approvaltests version in our requirements. Still learning python dependencies 😄
