`pip install asreview-notes-export` gives error message about asreview-notes-export

[rohitgarud]

Thank you for mentioning the steps.

@franzprante I think the issue is solved. Please check if you can install the latest version.

[rohitgarud]

Thank you @franzprante. Soon it will be part of the core functionality of ASReview. The PR is already merged, notes export functionality will be added in the next release.

[rohitgarud]

Hi, @franzprante Thank you for notifying me. I am not sure what is the reason behind this issue as I was able to install it using pip install asreview-notes-export in a newly created virtual environment, even though I didn't have asreview installed.. I will look into it and get back to you.. In the meantime, you can try installing directly from the GitHub repo using

pip install git+https://github.com/rohitgarud/asreview-notes-export.git

[rohitgarud]

One thing to note that this functionality will soon be part of asreview as I am working on it with the ASReview team, the PR is under review.. so this extension will not be required once the change is incorporated in the asreview core and asreview version is upgraded

[franzprante]

Thanks @rohitgarud ,

installing directly from GitHub unfortunatlely also did not work for me. Maybe the problem is in my setup then.

For now, I'll revert to using the Python API for exporting notes. But I look forward to the functionality being implemented in ASReview directly.

[rohitgarud]

@franzprante You can try upgrading pip using pip install --upgrade pip.. and what is your Python version, I did not explicitly test the compatibility with all the Python versions, and the extension was developed using Python 3.11.. that might be the source of the problem. As the error mentions 0.0.1 to 0.0.6 pip is aware of the extension just couldn't find a version compatible with your Python version

[franzprante]

Thanks,

pip install --upgrade pip did not solve the problem, but the error message from the failure of pip install git+https://github.com/rohitgarud/asreview-notes-export.git became clearer:

(pip install asreview-notes-exportgave the same error as mentioned at the top of this issue.)

[rohitgarud]

@franzprante Try cloning the repository using git clone and then installing using pip install .

Possible solution from SO
pip install Cmake

Hello @rohitgarud I'm also having the same issue. I've tried all the steps above in a new virtual environment and got the same error message - see below. Do you know when the asreview version with the export-notes functionality will be released?

[rohitgarud]

Thank you for letting me know @deelobo. May I ask if are you using Windows or Mac? So that I can pinpoint the issue being related to Mac users only. I think build/lib/asreviewcontrib\notes_export\_version.py is creating issues because of the backslash and forward slash mixup.

I have updated the code and Pypi version to 0.0.7. Please upgrade using pip install --upgrade asreview-notes-export. Please let me know if this solves the issue because I am unable to recreate the above error on my Windows PC and other users were able to use the extension (maybe Windows users).

[deelobo]

Thanks for your prompt reply, @rohitgarud
Yay, it worked! I'm a Mac user. Thanks a bunch.

Here are the steps I took:

1. Updated everything - python, conda, PyPi
2. Created a new conda environment
3. Installed asreview
4. Ran asreview to check if the installation worked
5. Installed asreview-notes-export using: pip install --upgrade asreview-notes-export
6. Voilá!

[franzprante]

Just tried it, it works! Thanks a lot! I am closing this.
