Incorrect version when running on a tag #1238
Description
I feel like I am missing something obvious because the most straightforward functionality is not working for me... But let's have a look.
Originally I experienced the issue in GitHub Actions pipeline, but eventually I could isolate it in local environment.
My repository is on tag v0.1.1:
git tag -l v0.1.1 -n
v0.1.1 Enable publish
git describe --tags --long
v0.1.1-0-ge6b9e0f
git status
HEAD detached at v0.1.1
nothing to commit, working tree clean
python -m setuptools_scm
0.1.1But:
python -m build
...
creating ios_backup_browser-0.1.2.dev0+ge6b9e0fc2.d20251128
...So the version being produced in build is not clean and not uploadable to PyPI.
Having SETUPTOOLS_SCM_OVERRIDES_FOR_IOS_BACKUP_BROWSER='{local_scheme = "no-local-version"}' does not help, however, SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION_FOR_IOS_BACKUP_BROWSER does (which I used as temporary workaround).
It may be important to note that syntax for the override differs from the documentation. Specifically, "Environment Variable Format" section instructs to use inline TOML while the provided example shows JSON{"local_scheme": "no-local-version"}. Such a value causes build to fail with InvalidTomlError. I converted it to TOML {local_scheme = "no-local-version"} which technically succeeded, but it's hard to say if it was right format, because it still did not have effect.
Please suggest how to properly leverage the module. Using PRETEND_VERSION seems like a pretty invasive hack.
