pip-compile fails, if package pre-commit is in requirements

[hofrob]

This may sound odd, but it was the only way to reproduce this bug. When using the latest pip-tools (6.8.0), any pip-compile command fails as long as the package pre-commit is installed alongside. So this may be a problem with this 3rd party package. But it worked before and the bug was introduced somewhere between pip-tools 6.6.2 and 6.8.0 (edit: introduced in 6.7.0).

Sorry for this weird description. I tried to boil it down to a more digestible description. It was quite confusing to figure this out.

Environment Versions

1. OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (Linux 5.15.0-41-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 22 14:20:53 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
2. Python version: 3.10.4
3. pip version: 22.0.2
4. pip-tools version: 6.8.0

Steps to replicate

Example repo: https://github.com/hofrob/test-pip-tools-upgrade

1. check out the repo
2. create a virtual env: python -m venv venv
3. activate venv: . venv/bin/activate
4. install packages: pip install -r requirements.txt (it's only pip-tools and pre-commit plus dependencies)
5. run pip-compile -o requirements.txt
6. or pip-compile --upgrade --quiet
7. or pip-compile --upgrade-package pip-tools --quiet

Expected result

pip-compile does not produce output and does not change the requirements file.

Actual result

$ pip-compile -o requirements.txt
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools>=40.8.0 in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages (from -r /tmp/build-reqs-f
vosl3ot.txt (line 1)) (63.2.0)

By stepping back one commit and running pip-sync, I could verify that this worked before.

1. git reset --hard HEAD^
2. pip-sync
3. run any of the above pip-compile commands

Eu adicionei --no-cache-dir ao final do comando e funcionou...

pip-tools 6.7.0 is also affected. Last working version is 6.6.2.

[tatiana-tam]

The same thing happened to me.
I just uninstalled and installed the pip. The old version was installed, I have upgraded and it already works.
Hope you can fix it :)

[hofrob]

# uninstall pip
sudo pip uninstall pip
# install pip through apt
sudo apt install python3-pip
# upgrade pip to the latest version
python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pip

Fixed this, thx @tatiana-tam.

I was not able to reproduce this on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM.
