cx_Freeze v6.10 does not support pre-release segments in versioning.

[noahblumADS]

Describe the bug When attempting to freeze an application with python setup.py build_exe a version number that has pre-release segments, i.e. "1.0.0b1", "0.10.0rc4", cx_Freeze v6.10 fails to build, as the pre-release segment fails to convert from a string to an int.

To Reproduce

1. In setup.py set your version number to any number including pre-release segments, i.e., "1.0.0b1", "3.2a6", "0.10.0rc4"
2. In the terminal, navigate to your setup.py file, and using cx_Freeze v6.10 run python setup.py build_exe.

Expected behavior In previous versions of cx_Freeze, including 6.9, there were no errors when including pre-release segments in the version number, as they would build without issue.

Desktop

• Platform information: Windows 10 Pro 21H1
• OS architecture: x64
• cx_Freeze version: 6.10
• Python version: Python 3.9.10

In previous versions of cx_Freeze, including 6.9, there were no errors when including pre-release segments in the version number, as they would build without issue.

I believe that in 6.9 the version is ignored in the final executable. Can you check the properties of it?

I'll check if stamp can be non-number.

Hi,

I believe that in 6.9 the version is ignored in the final executable. Can you check the properties of it?

I believe this is what you're looking for? In which case it is not applied.

If not, please let me know. I'm not too familiar with executable properties, so I wasn't too certain where to look.

[marcelotduarte]

This is the correct screen.

[marcelotduarte]

You can test the development release:

pip uninstall -y cx_Freeze
pip install -i https://marcelotduarte.github.io/packages/ cx_Freeze --pre

[noahblumADS]

When I run that second command, I get the following error:

Requirement already satisfied: cx-logging>=3.0 in c:\users\███████\documents\virtual environments\███████ (3.9)\lib\site-packages (from cx_Freeze) (3.0)
Requirement already satisfied: lief>=0.11.5 in c:\users\███████\documents\virtual environments\███████ (3.9)\lib\site-packages (from cx_Freeze) (0.11.5)
Requirement already satisfied: importlib-metadata>=4.8.3 in c:\users\███████\documents\virtual environments\███████ (3.9)\lib\site-packages (from cx_Freeze) (4.11.2)
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement packaging (from cx-freeze) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for packaging

Any suggestions?

[marcelotduarte]

The correct command is: pip install --extra-index-url https://marcelotduarte.github.io/packages/ cx_Freeze --pre --no-cache

[marcelotduarte]

@noahblumADS Do you have success?

[spaam]

@marcelotduarte i got a similar issue as @noahblumADS and i tried the version you got at marcelotduarte.github.io and it seems to fixed the issue.

thanks for fixing it ❤️
