automatically installed dependencies do not include ezpadova

[benjamin-gibson]

I installed a fresh BEAST download to test the newest changes. Everything worked right except for the installation of ezpadova. I had to pip install it myself. Everything works properly after doing so. Please add this to the list of dependencies.

[karllark]

It is in the dependancies. See the pyproject.toml file.

[karllark]

So, can you show the error you got? Is the dependancy in the file not the correct one?

[benjamin-gibson]

Hm that's interesting -- that's the correct dependency. I don't have the error saved anymore. I just installed it fresh, then tried to import BEAST functions, and got that the ezpadova package doesn't exist, so I ran pip install git+https://github.com/mfouesneau/ezpadova to download and now we're good. I don't remember what exactly happened this was two weeks ago...

[karllark]

Well, hard to know how to "fix" this issue without more info. If you can reproduce, that would be good. Otherwise I will close this issue at some point.

[benjamin-gibson]

I'll give it a try tomorrow

[benjamin-gibson]

Okay I was able to recreate the issue.

I again created a fresh conda environment and did a full beast install following the installation for developers instructions: https://beast.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#dev-install

Here's the output for the automatically installed packages:

I then checked both conda list and pip list and ezpadova was nowhere to be found

I then downloaded tox and ran "tox -e test -- --remote-data --cov", which automatically prints a pip freeze statement, which showed ezpadova @ git+https://github.com/mfouesneau/ezpadova@f39625883e22a619b180c73b290a46a2a137f05e, so it gets downloaded for the tests I guess. The rest of the tests succeeded.

Finally, to recreate the issue entirely, I tried importing a bunch of BEAST functions, and when I ran "from beast.tools.run import create_physicsmodel, I got the following error traceback:

File "/Users/bgibson/Coding/beast_temp/beast/beast/tools/run/create_physicsmodel.py", line 12, in
from beast.physicsmodel.model_grid import (
...<4 lines>...
)
File "/Users/bgibson/Coding/beast_temp/beast/beast/physicsmodel/model_grid.py", line 8, in
from beast.physicsmodel.stars import evoltracks, isochrone, stellib
File "/Users/bgibson/Coding/beast_temp/beast/beast/physicsmodel/stars/isochrone.py", line 22, in
from beast.physicsmodel.stars.ezpadova import parsec
File "/Users/bgibson/Coding/beast_temp/beast/beast/physicsmodel/stars/ezpadova/parsec.py", line 20, in
import ezpadova
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ezpadova'

So somehow ezpadova is being downloaded for tests, but not for developer installs. I've saved my entire terminal output for this process so if there's anything you want to see just let me know.

[karllark]

I have to admit that I am stumped on how to fix this issue.

[benjamin-gibson]

I had a friend download the BEAST and it seemed to correctly download everything for him. I wonder if it's something wrong with just my version of something? My fork or conda or something? I too am stumped.

[karllark]

Very odd.
