It seems that installation of dev versions from git downgraded shapely to 1.8.5.

good catch

Having trouble figuring out where the shapely<2,>=1.7 requirement is actually coming from. Will dig more into this later. Or do we think simply reinstalling shapely>=2.0b1 after the downgrade would suit our needs for testing?

That is coming from geopandas 0.12. We fixed it in 0.12.1 but that somehow never made it to conda-forge. I'll update the feedstock now.

One thing we should do is to call conda list once everything is installed, not before pip install as the action does itself. Similarly to what we have in geopandas here https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/actions/runs/3368984312/jobs/5588143381#step:4:1 . It would be much easier to pick this up.

conda-forge has been updated. Give it a bit to propagate to servers and we can try again.

Did that and trying for Python 3.11 just for fun.

@weikang9009 is pretty busy with her new responsibilities. Do we want to wait for a review from @sjsrey or go ahead and merge?
