Draft: Declare project deps in a conda environment file.
This mr closes https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303839
This change streamlines dependency management and adds support to conda environment files.
The new project template has changed as follows:
- A new
conda-
environment.yml` is introduce, which contains run time environment deps. - Test dependencies have moved to tox.ini.
-
requirements.txt
andrequirements-test.txt
have been removed.
Sample projects have been updated to match these dependencies.
@mfossati @cparle this MR pays off technical debt, but I would not say it's a requirement/blocker for you project. We can look at implementing these changes once your project has been merged in main. What do you think?
conda-dist
While the API is forward compatible with conda-dist, the environment is still packaged with a bash one liner in Makefile. While trying out conda-dist, I keep stumbling upon these errors (triggered by conda-pack).
CondaPackError:
Files managed by conda were found to have been deleted/overwritten in the
following packages:
- ncurses 6.3:
share/terminfo/2/2621A
share/terminfo/E/Eterm
share/terminfo/E/Eterm-color
+ 1054 others
As reported in repos/research/knowledge-gaps!4 (merged), I was unable to replicate the errors consistently.
I wonder if passing --ignore-missing-files
could be a viable work around (see https://github.com/conda/conda-pack/issues/98).
