pip-accel is not compatible with `-e` editable installs of packages that use `setuptools_scm` #71

Open mrmachine opened 8 years ago

mrmachine commented 8 years ago

setuptools_scm is "the blessed package to manage your versions by scm tags". So your package version will be determined by a git tag, instead of a hard coded string inside your application code. So you don't need a "bump version" commit for every source code change just to release a new package.

pip-accel downloads -e editable packages from git to a bare repository in a temporary directory, and then checks out a working copy from the bare repository into a src directory, then tries to install.

Problem is, this working copy does not have access to the git repository from which it was checked out. So setuptools_scm is unable to determine its version number, and installation fails.

setuptools_scm is designed to allow installation without access to the git repository only when it is already packaged and this metadata is baked into the egg. Without this metadata, and without access to the git repository, setuptools_scm cannot work from a bare working copy.

pip-accel should behave more like pip, and clone a normal repository to the src directory and install from there.

Do you have an easy way for me to reproduce the issue, as in a publicly available SCM repository suitable for installation using pip install -e that's using setuptools_scm which works with pip but fails with pip-accel?

I completely agree that pip-accel should be as compatible with pip as possible, unfortunately I'm not sure whether that's a realistic option (for this bug report) given the way that pip and pip-accel integrate. I can try though, which is what I'll do!

Sure thing. Here are some logs demonstrating the problem.

First, make a fresh venv and install pip-accel:

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

When you pip install -e you end up with an editable repository and working copy in src. When you pip-accel install -e you end up with only an editable working copy in src, which besides breaking setuptools_scm, makes it not much use if you actually want to edit it and commit changes back upstream.

I think pip-accel could just clone from the temp repository to src instead of checking out, if you don't want to just clone directly from the remote URL to src, and it should work?
