Installation broken (git) about spine-toolbox

[soininen]

You're trying to install the entity branch, right? I guess it won't work since the branches don't have version tags.

[PekkaSavolainen]

Installing Spine Toolbox from master branches works fine on my system. Maybe you skipped step 5.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Is this the case?

[PekkaSavolainen]

@soininen This issue is about the master branch being possibly broken. Please see chat on element.

[soininen]

Aye, it's the environment name (spi-entity2) that let me astray here.

[PekkaSavolainen]

Actually this might be caused by the new dynamic versioning thing. The easiest fix is to clone the spinetoolbox repo again.

[jkiviluo]

I did clean install with new conda environment. Did all the steps. Still the same.

[soininen]

I also did a clean install (freshly cloned Spine-Toolbox repository) with new conda environment and got toolbox running smoothly. @jkiviluo Can you provide any other information about your Python environment?

I just re-tried and now it goes through. I was on a shaky wi-fi last time (but I tried it twice). And the error does not say it was because of lost internet connection. Well, let's hope this will not repeat. Closing...

[jkiviluo]

Just kidding. I was in wrong directory (v0.8) where the
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
works. So, in master still the same error message.

[PekkaSavolainen]

@jkiviluo Did you ever get installation from master branch working? There's a new issue (#2462), which is probably related somehow.

[jkiviluo]

Still the same. Created a new environment, followed instructions for git installation and got the same AssertionError.

Somebody seems to know something about this;

I don't know what I should do in my case though.
