[PATCH 0/2]python3-setuptools-scm: fix build and upgrade to 10.1.2

[Himani Ramesh Barde]

The AUH attempted to upgrade python3-setuptools-scm to 10.1.2 but
failed at do_compile because setuptools-scm tries to determine its
version from SCM metadata, which isn't available in OE tarball builds.

Patch 1 exports SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION to bypass SCM-based
version detection. Patch 2 completes the upgrade to 10.1.2.

Build-tested: python3-setuptools-scm, python3-vcs-versioning, and
python3-pytest all build successfully with this series applied.

[PATCH 1/2] python3-setuptools-scm: avoid SCM-based version detection

[Himani Ramesh Barde]

setuptools-scm determines package version from SCM metadata (e.g. git tags).
In OpenEmbedded builds, sources are fetched as tarballs without a .git directory,
causing version detection to fail.

Export SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION to override SCM-based version detection
and use the recipe version instead.

Can you please show the error that occurs without this patch? I
suspect this is not the correct fix. Pypi tarballs are supposed to
work without special arrangements, and if they don't, it's an upstream
issue.

Hi Himani,

We already have an upgrade to version 10.2.0 on the list:

Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for the pointer. I'll drop patch 2/2 since Alex's upgrade to 10.2.0 supersedes it.

However, patch 1/2 (exporting SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION) is still required - setuptools-scm 10.2.0 will fail at do_compile the same way 10.1.2 did, since it still probes SCM metadata via vcs-versioning when built from PyPI tarballs without a .git directory. Alex's upgrade will need this fix as a prerequisite.

Thanks,
Himani

I don't think it will. I tested this update, and it does not fail.
What is the error that you are seeing?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4240 bytes --]

Hi Alex,


The error occurs when building python3-setuptools-scm >= 10.1.2.

This was reported by the AUH on June 23 (subject: "[OE-core] [AUH] python3-setuptools-scm: upgrading to 10.1.2 FAILED"):

File ".../setuptools_scm-10.1.2/src/setuptools_scm/_get_version.py", line 55, in get_version
    from vcs_versioning._environment import VcsEnvironment
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vcs_versioning._environment'

ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke get_requires_for_build_wheel

setuptools-scm's build backend calls get_version() during get_requires_for_build_wheel, which tries to import vcs_versioning._environment (a vcs-versioning 2.x API). The sysroot has vcs-versioning 1.1.1, which lacks that module.

SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION is setuptools-scm's own documented mechanism for this situation. But if you prefer a different approach (e.g., upgrading vcs-versioning to 2.x), happy to defer.


Thanks,
Himani

Thanks! The issue is that newer setuptools-scm needs newer
vcs-versioning as well -  but this was not clear from the commit with
the 'pretend_version' fix or your comment to Mathieu. The point I
wanted to make for the future is:

- it's better to include any error you see into the commit with the
fix, so the error is documented together with the fix and can be seen
by reviewers

- if there's a choice between a workaround, and version update for a
dependency, it's better to update the versions in lockstep.
Workarounds tend to be forgotten, they linger around long after the
issue is otherwise fixed, and it becomes difficult to understand why
they are there and test whether they're still needed.

In any case, both updates have already landed in master, so nothing
needs to be done.
