Warning (failure) when calculating version

[tyleraland]

I install deenurp to a virtualenv (i.e., under the covers, deenurp is cloned to /tmp and pip executes python setup.py install). Later, when I run a command (deenurp ncbi_extract_genbank) I get the following error:

WARNING version.py version 46 Command '['git', '-C', '/mnt/disk2/molmicro/venv/2.7.11/straintyping_pipeline-1-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/deenurp-0.1.7-py2.7.egg/deenurp', 'describe', '--tags']' returned non-zero exit status 128

And, indeed, that .egg directory is NOT a git repository Cloning https://github.com/fhcrc/deenurp.git (to v0.1.7) to /tmp/pip-build-inSxpH/deenurp

I think the issue here is that you've only tested this with the '--editable' flag, because when I use that, my problems go away. However, I'd rather not have to install deenurp as editable.

Tyler,

Can you share relevant portions of your installation script so that I can try to reproduce the issue? In the meantime, your best bet is probably to create a tarball using python setup.py sdist from within the cloned repo and install from that.

Thanks, Noah

I can't seem to reproduce the error anymore when installing to a new virtualenv, so maybe the initial installation failed somehow that first time and that failure produced weird behavior afterwards.

No error this time, but I do get a warning complaining that it can't run git describe --tags, because the directory isn't a git repository. Curiously, the program does return the correct version anyway. And the final return call is 0 (success) so this shouldn't affect behavior, it just spits out some concerning messages to stderr.

virtualenv test-env
source test-env/bin/activate
pip install biopython retrying
pip install git+https://github.com/fhcrc/deenurp.git@v0.1.7#egg=deenurp

I have updated these messages to log.debug. They will (should) no longer be broadcast under default verbosity.
