pip install -e is broken #1356
Comments
It's unclear whether this is because the install plumbing is bad or caimanmanager needs to be smarter. Probably the former though. This may have happened when we modernised the pip plumbing a few releases back, as I know this used to work. |
Actually, I may be able to find a more elegant way to do this (maybe caimanmanager should detect if the install is editable and then go find the sourcedir) and then I wouldn't need the flag, but if not, I at least need to document editable installs better in the readme. |
Looks like the data_files limitation is a known bug in setuptools: Currently looking into whether there's any way to force setup.py to populate share/ with our data_files anyway or if there's any way to disable editable mode; either approach seems workable. |
Should be fixed by #1357 |
The
-e
install doesn't put paths in the right place for caimanmanager to find them, looking in paths like:/home/pgunn/miniconda3/envs/caibuild/share/caiman
We need to handle this case better.
