LookupError: setuptools-scm was unable to detect version #278

marcelotrevisani · 2018-07-11T14:53:09Z

Hi, I'm trying to use setuptools_scm in a project. However, I'm facing this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

I cloned this project from a private gitlab repository, I don't know if it is the problem.
In setup.py I added:

setup(
...
    setup_requires=['setuptools_scm'],
    use_scm_version={'write_to': 'project/_version.py'},
...
)

I'm using setuptools_scm 2.1.0

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

this all looks correct so far - whats the putput of SETUPTOOLS_SCM_DEBUG=1 setup.py --version

marcelotrevisani · 2018-07-11T15:14:38Z

I don't know if I ran that correctly, if I did something wrong, please let me know

My setup.py is:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name = 'KaraboGUI',
    author = 'European XFEL Gmbh',
    author_email = 'karabo@xfel.eu',
    use_scm_version={'write_to': 'karabogui/_version.py'},
    setup_requires=['setuptools_scm'],
    description = 'This is the Karabo GUI',
    url = 'http://karabo.eu',
    packages = find_packages(),
    include_package_data = True,
    entry_points = {'console_scripts':
             [
                'karabo-gui=karabogui.programs.gui_runner:main',
                'panel-runner=karabogui.programs.panel_runner:main',
             ]},
    package_data = {
        'karabogui.binding.tests': ["data/*.config", "data/*.schema"],
        'karabogui.configurator.dialog': ["*.ui"],
        'karabogui.controllers': ["*.ui"],
        'karabogui.controllers.display': ["*.svg", "*.ui"],
        'karabogui.dialogs': ["*.ui"],
        'karabogui.icons': ["*.*", "statefulicons/iconset/*.svg"],
        'karabogui.project.dialog': ["*.ui"],
        }
)

RonnyPfannschmidt · 2018-07-11T15:20:33Z

is the .git dir at the same level as the setup.py or somewhere else?

marcelotrevisani · 2018-07-11T15:22:27Z

the .git is in two previous folders

RonnyPfannschmidt · 2018-07-11T15:34:37Z

then you need to feed it the relative_to and the root arguments as well

should be use_scm_version={'root':'../..', ...} at least

marcelotrevisani · 2018-07-11T15:43:17Z

Oh thanks, that solved my problem. Sorry for this waste of your time :)

RonnyPfannschmidt · 2018-07-11T15:46:10Z

@marcelotrevisani it wasn't a waste of time, i just learned we have a bad missleading error there and can make things better for users, see the followup issue i created

unless you have further questions please close this one as sorted

marcelotrevisani · 2018-07-11T17:19:11Z

Sure, I'm going to close this

Thanks for the help! :)
