Workaround pyyaml mess
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Facts:

* Latest stable release of PyYaml has a CVE, so pipenv check fails.
  (PyYaml comes from our dependency to mkdocs)

* PyYaml maintainers are unable to make any release because they broke
  their build script, and have tons of stuff to do before being able
  to release *anything*. See yaml/pyyaml#193

* I cannot convince pipenv to just use PyYaml 4.2b4 and leave the rest
  of the deps alone. I did manage to make things work by editing the
  Pipfile.lock by hand in #114, but this makes things really fragile :/

So, here's the "solution":

* Allow pipenv check to fail
* Make CI fails as soon as the PyYaml folks manage to make a new release
* When this happens, revert this patch and upgrade pyyaml
