Recipe is no longer updating

[urschrei]

• I read the conda-forge documentation and could not find the solution for my problem there.

@moorepants Sorry to ping you, but I'm only an occasional Anaconda user – the recipe is no longer updating. I restructured the package (Python 3 only, using pyproject.toml + setup.cfg) to incorporate new best practices but I don't know whether that's the issue. Let me know if there's anything I can do from my end…

As far as I understand we have to delete pyproject.toml files in conda forge, because it's a conflict. Conda's meta.yaml is a build instruction and so is pyproject.toml. See: conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#1174

[moorepants]

Lots of recipes have this:

- {{ PYTHON }} -c "__import__('os').unlink('pyproject.toml')"
- {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . -vv

[urschrei]

Ah, OK!

[moorepants]

If that doesn't work I put a rm pyproject.toml or for windows del pyproject.toml before install. I think that works too.

[moorepants]

I can make a PR with the update if you want.

Oh, thanks! There are also some requirements simplifications, minimum Python >=3.6, and we now depend on pytest for testing: https://github.com/urschrei/pyzotero/blob/ed4175e0f1a62f10984b311864c13ac453fa9ebe/setup.cfg#L35-L47

See #27

There is a PR here with the possible official recommendations: conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#1540

[urschrei]

Amazing, thanks. That should be the last of the structural changes – hopefully there'll be something more robust in place on the conda side by the time "migrate everything to pyproject.toml" becomes a hard recommendation, but I'm not in a rush to repeat any of this…

[moorepants]

I'm not sure how that will play out. The pyproject.toml is effectively build instructions, just like conda's meta.yaml and any other package manager's spec file. Maybe there will be a way to extract info from the pyproject.toml file to be incorporated into a package manager's spec file.
