version file is not generated with setuptools-scm 8

[njzjz]

Today setuptools-scm released v8.0.0 and v8.0.1. After that, the version file is not generated anymore.

[tool.setuptools_scm]
write_to = "deepmd/_version.py"

However, there is no issue when using setuptools.

I see #497, but I think it is a different issue.

Could you try using the built-in generation option? I'll start by making sure we test that the generated file is generated, but that might be a workaround for now.

You can also add "setuptools_scm<8" into your requirements, which does fix it. Verified using cookiecutter gh:scientific-python/cookie. It looks like the default for force_write_version_files is set differently than in <8.

Should be working again with 0.5.1. Possibly the next setuptools_scm version will fix too.
