LookupError: setuptools-scm was unable to detect version for

[103-5]

Sorry for bothering you while similar threads already exist (https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm/issues/536), but these methods not work in my case. I'm trying to install setup.py from https://github.com/GENESIS-EFRC/reaction-network in the python virtual environment 3.8 in conda. The original setup.py is:

 #!/usr/bin/env` python
from pathlib import Path
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
module_dir = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
with open(module_dir / "README.md") as f:
    long_desc = f.read()
setup(
    name="reaction-network",
    use_scm_version=True,
    setup_requires=["setuptools_scm"],
    description="Reaction-network is a Python package for predicting likely inorganic "
    "chemical reaction pathways using graph theory.",
    long_description=long_desc,
    long_description_content_type="text/markdown",
    url="https://github.com/GENESIS-EFRC/reaction-network",
    author="Matthew McDermott",
    author_email="mcdermott@lbl.gov",
    maintainer="Matthew McDermott",
    license="modified BSD",
    packages=find_packages("src"),
    package_dir={"": "src"},
    package_data={"rxn_network": ["py.typed"]},
    zip_safe=False,
    include_package_data=True,
    install_requires=[
        "setuptools",
        "pymatgen>=2022.0.16",
        "fireworks>=1.9.7",
        "maggma>=0.38.1",
        "numba>=0.53.0",
    ],
    extra_requires={"demo": ["jupyter>=1.0.0"]},
    classifiers=[
        "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
        "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.8",
        "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.9",

    ],
    tests_require=["pytest"],

)

And the error information looks like this:

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

I've tried to modify the "use_scm_version" term but still failed to fix this issue. It will be a great help if someone familiar with setuptools can give me some advices about how to get a correct setup.py

Thank you.

Going by the output there is a strangely name mangled file in the traceback that doesn't belong to setuptools_scm

Please list the packages installed that have setuptools in their name

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

with the code corrected it seems a normal issue

run SETUPTOOLS_SCM_DEBUG=1 python setup.py --version

also these days i strongly recommend using a installer over using setup.py install pip and others sort a number of issues that can happen in normal development

@RonnyPfannschmidt Hi Ronny, thanks for your reply. I use python virtual environment 3.8 in conda and conda list shows that I've installed two packages related to setuptools

setuptools 61.2.0 pypi_0 pypi setuptools-scm 6.4.2 pypi_0 pypi

I tried SETUPTOOLS_SCM_DEBUG=1 python setup.py --version and got the following result.

Is this in a docker container that lacks the git folder?

Oh, that is exactly why I get these errors. The downloaded zip misses .git folder. Fortunately, by using the git clone command, the .git folder appears and the installation completes smoothly :D Thanks for your help! You saved my day!

thanks, closing as solved then
