Actions: Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully

[szhan]

I'm encountering the error in the title when trying to do PRs #31 and #34. I'm not sure what is going on. The pytests pass, and didn't even touch pyproject.toml.

Hmm, looks like the Actions infrastructure is a bit out of date, probably some versions of various packages have moved on. Would need a bit of cleanup.

@astheeggeggs, what's your take here? Shall we tidy things up and get stuff running again? I think we could make things a bit simpler, and just to the minimal "lint passes, tests pass" CI setup.

[astheeggeggs]

Sure, simple sounds good to me. What needs ripping out?

It looks like nox doesn't like a host of things being defined outside of pyproject.toml. For example,

/tmp/pip-build-env-gh79cjfj/overlay/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools_scm/git.py:163: UserWarning: "/home/runner/work/lshmm/lshmm" is shallow and may cause errors
        warnings.warn(f'"{wd.path}" is shallow and may cause errors')
      /tmp/pip-build-env-gh79cjfj/overlay/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools_scm/_integration/setuptools.py:90: UserWarning: version of None already set
        warnings.warn(f"version of {dist_name} already set")
      /tmp/pip-build-env-gh79cjfj/overlay/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/config/_apply_pyprojecttoml.py:76: _MissingDynamic: `readme` defined outside of `pyproject.toml` is ignored.
      !!
      
              ********************************************************************************
              The following seems to be defined outside of `pyproject.toml`:
      
              `readme = '# lshmm\ncode to run Li and Stephens\n'`
      
              According to the spec (see the link below), however, setuptools CANNOT
              consider this value unless `readme` is listed as `dynamic`.
      
              https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pyproject-toml/#declaring-project-metadata-the-project-table
      
              To prevent this problem, you can list `readme` under `dynamic` or alternatively
              remove the `[project]` table from your file and rely entirely on other means of
              configuration.

Oops, didn't mention that it happens when it runs nox -s lint.

Closed by #36

I was expecting that this issue would be automatically closed.
