How to disable version guessing? #1231
Description
According to #873, version guessing is supposed to be opt-in, but I'm getting version-related error even though I'm not opting in (AFAIK).
I would like to use setuptools-scm for selecting files, but not for guessing the version.
Since recently, I'm getting an error in CI (e.g. https://github.com/mgeier-forks/insipid-sphinx-theme/actions/runs/18633111193/job/53120584975):
UserWarning: pyproject.toml: at [tool.setuptools.dynamic]
version = {attr = ...} is forcing setuptools to override the version setuptools-scm did already set
When using setuptools-scm it's invalid to use setuptools dynamic version as well, please remove it.
Setuptools-scm is responsible for setting the version, forcing setuptools to override creates errors.
