upload functionality busted in pip version of mapbox CLI?

[sbma44]

on a vanilla morec2:

$ sudo apt-get update -y
$ pip install mapboxcli
$ export MapboxAccessToken='xyz...'
$ mapbox upload example.geojson sbma44.uploadtest
Usage: mapbox upload [OPTIONS]

Error: Got unexpected extra arguments (example.geojson sbma44.uploadtest)

$ mapbox upload --help
Usage: mapbox upload [OPTIONS]

  Warning: entry point could not be loaded. Contact its author for help.

Tried this with pip3; same story. Fixed the format of the access token env var as well, to no avail.

Interesting error when running the command without any params:

$ mapbox
Usage: mapbox [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  This is the command line interface to Mapbox web services.

  Mapbox web services require an access token. Your token is shown on the
  https://www.mapbox.com/studio/account/tokens/ page when you are logged in.
  The token can be provided on the command line

    $ mapbox --access-token MY_TOKEN ...

  as an environment variable named MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN (higher precedence)
  or MapboxAccessToken (lower precedence).

    $ export MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=MY_TOKEN
    $ mapbox ...

  or in a config file

    ; configuration file mapbox.ini
    [mapbox]
    access-token = MY_TOKEN

  The OS-dependent default config file path is something like

    ~/Library/Application Support/mapbox/mapbox.ini
    ~/.config/mapbox/mapbox.ini
    ~/.mapbox/mapbox.ini

Options:
  --version            Show the version and exit.
  -v, --verbose        Increase verbosity.
  -q, --quiet          Decrease verbosity.
  --access-token TEXT  Your Mapbox access token.
  -c, --config PATH    Config file
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Wondering if this is a pythonpath thing specific to ubuntu? I've had success using the tool via homebrew.

We saw the same thing #48 . There's python apt packages in ubuntu that pin six to an old version. One of the mapbox cli dependencies needs a newer version. There's no way to solve it directly without monkeying around with ubuntu's python environment which can lead to Bad Things™.

virtualenv is the right solution - isolate the python deps you need and you should be fine.

[sbma44]

makes sense! closing as dupe and/or ubuntu problem

[perrygeo]

This should work on a vanilla ubuntu system

Installation:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv
$ virtualenv -p $(which python) /tmp/env
$ source /tmp/env/bin/activate
(env)$ pip install mapboxcli

Then you can run it like this if the virtualenv is activated

(env)$ mapbox upload --help
...

Or by absolute path if you're in a different shell

(env)$ deactivate
$ /tmp/env/bin/mapbox upload --help
