Make build error in MacOs

[snwnst]

I am following the instructions of installing from source in MacOs and when i run make build got this error:

python -c "import aw_server; print(aw_server.__version__)"
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'aw_server'
make: *** [build] Error 1

[johan-bjareholt]

activitywatch/Makefile

Line 45 in 370b073

python -c "import aw_server; print(aw_server.__version__)"

I assume this is where it fails?

Seems like for some reason python fails to find aw_server as a python dependency, maybe something is not working properly with the virtualenv?

The exact same thing (make build) in our automated tests passed last time there was a change (5 days ago).

[snwnst]

Yes, in that line got the error. I did a test without virtualenv and showed the same message.

[xylix]

Good catch. Can you try running the line "pip install poetry" in the venv and see if this fixes the problem? I tried to reproduce, got the different error ```
fi
Submodules seem to already be initialized, continuing...
make --directory=aw-core build
poetry install
make[1]: poetry: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [build] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

The installing-from-source documentation might not have been updated after the move to poetry. 

[snwnst]

I also got that error the first time I ran the build. After running pip install poetry and running make build I received the error. Is there a missing step in the documentation that I'm not doing?

[stared]

On macOS, the install instruction is lacking:

• poetry (need to be installed manually)
• cargo (I didn't try to install it / don't know this tool)

How about a Makefile that involves:

• creating a Python environment
• installing poetry
• installing cargo if needed (or using another tool)

?

[snwnst]

Cargo is Rust’s build system and package manager. Rust nightly is necessary for this step:

activitywatch/Makefile

Line 39 in 370b073

make --directory=aw-server-rust build SKIP_WEBUI=$(SKIP_WEBUI)

I'm updating the documentation of installing from source. I'm basing to the travis.yml I found there about Rust and Poetry but I'm still stuck on the error

[ErikBjare]

Not sure what's going wrong here, but a few things:

• Make sure you have the virtualenv activated (if you don't, poetry will create it's own for each module, which will definitely not work).
• Check which python is being used with which python, make sure that which python and which python3 has the same output (both in the virtualenv).
• Run a Python interpreter within the virtualenv and check which packages are installed with import pkg_resources; installed_packages = [(d.project_name, d.version) for d in pkg_resources.working_set], make sure it looks as expected.

Hi I am even facing the same issue, any one please help me in taking it forward.

[snwnst]

Try running first pip install poetry and try again

make: *** [build] Error 1

could install poetry but still the following error persists @snwnst

[ErikBjare]

@iconma You need to run the make command in a virtualenv.

[iconma]

Thanks for the info, But i m stuck here.
Say no cargo, checked poetry.lock there is no sign of cargo package in it.

make --directory=aw-server-rust build SKIP_WEBUI=
cargo build --release --bin aw-server
make[1]: cargo: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [aw-server] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2
@snwnst how do we proceed further ?

commented and tried it out
#make --directory=aw-server-rust build SKIP_WEBUI=
It got generated.
python -c "import aw_server; print(aw_server.version)"

But when I type aw-qt it results me below error , help is appreciated

[johan-bjareholt]

To fix the building of aw-server-rust you need to install rust nightly and cargo, most easily done with rustup.

What's wrong with aw-qt is clear in the error message with the following

'sip<4.20,>=4.19.4' distribution was not found and is required by PyQt5

You are missing the sip dependency or have the wrong version of it required by pyqt5, or maybe your virtualenv is not set.

Hi i have fixed venv properly,
now i am stuck with new error.

As the error says, you need a nightly version of Rust.
