This project employs the use of the setuptools scm plugin during builds to extract package versions from git. Unfortunately, this plugin forbids tagging dev releases. See this comment for more details.
This causes issues when building the project outside the CI where
setuptools_scm
keeps failing when the last tag is a "dev" tag. And althoughsetuptools_scm
provides a mechanism to override the version at build, this doesn't work when building withtox
. This is highly inconvenient astox
is handy for running tests and other workflows such as linting and building docs.From the problem description above, the solution is to change the tagging of the dev releases to something else. I pick rc(release candidate), which coincidentally I believe is more appropriate as changes on the develop branch constitute contents of the next major release.
