Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

@kinow could we rebuild the changes from https://github.com/conda-forge/cylc-flow-feedstock/pull/11 on the 8.0b2 release timeframe?

I don't think so. That PR worked with Py 3.7 and 3.8 I think. But not 3.9. And I did my very shallow test, of using five and some basic Cylc commands. I would be more confident if we had time to have someone like you or Hilary to play with the generated artifacts and see if there's nothing broken.

We can add for next beta or full release though.

(tests will fail until merged into release branch)

@conda-forge-admin, please restart ci

Huh, dependency issues. I think I've had an issue like that. You should be able to build the recipe locally with a similar environment as conda and see what's causing the issue (I think there's a command to get conda to point to what appears to be broken).

[oliver-sanders]

Lots of conflict there, hard to tell the root cause(s), guesses:

• rx, mentioned in one conflict line, not a Cylc dep, has been an issue in the past.
  • Can we remove the rx dep?
• PyPy, we would expect problems installing all deps with PyPy (Pandas can be a problem)
  • The build says cPython, however, the log says PyPy
  • It seems to have tried PyPy 3.6 which would never work anyway (we are 3.7+).
  • Can we disable PyPy builds?
  • Would this just cause failures in the other cylc-* feedstocks?
  • I tried setting up testing on cylc-flow to enable us to claim PyPy support, however, installing extra deps (namely Pandas) is problematic.

[kinow]

Reproduced the issue locally with:

# activate conda
conda install conda-build
conda create -n test-cylc-flow
# debug really slows it down
conda build --use-local -c conda-forge --no-force-upload --debug --no-anaconda-upload ./recipe/

Will re-read your comment and try to understand what's going on in the morning :+1:

Some of the conda-environment deps were pinned incorrectly - https://github.com/cylc/cylc-flow/pull/4340

That pandas<0.26 dep was particularly troublesome.
