pip tries to parse PEP 508 URLs in pyproject.toml's [build-system] requires as file path

Created on 13 Apr 2019 · 5Comments · Source: pypa/pip

Environment

pip version: tox doesn't tell me :fearful:
Python version: 3.7
OS: Fedora GNU/Linux

Description
This is what happens when attempting to specify "wobblui @ https://github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip":

  Requirement 'wobblui @ https://github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
  Processing ./wobblui @ https:/github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip
  Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/jonas/Develop/myproj/wobblui @ https:/github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip'

Expected behavior
That it works, because it also works in seutp_requires and this is the recommended replacement, right?

How to Reproduce
Use this pyproject.toml:

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "wheel", "wobblui @ https://github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

Output

  Requirement 'wobblui @ https://github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
  Processing ./wobblui @ https:/github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip
  Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/jonas/Develop/myproj/wobblui @ https:/github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip'

For what it's worth, pip from the PR associated with that issue (#6203) was able to install the pyproject.toml provided here without issue.

I believe this is a duplicate of #6202?

Hmm that one seems to mention requirements.txt and I wouldn't know if internally uses the same mechanism. If it does uses the same one, then it's probably a duplicate :+1:

I'm pretty sure it uses the same mechanism, but I guess it can't hurt to keep this open until we're sure it's fixed.

6203 was merged and I was able to confirm the fix against master:

fixed.sh

#!/bin/sh
cd "$(mktemp -d)"
python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate

set -ex
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/pypa/pip.git
cat <<EOF > pyproject.toml
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "wheel", "wobblui @ https://github.com/wobblui/wobblui/archive/master.zip"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
EOF
echo "from setuptools import setup; setup(name='hello')" > setup.py
pip install .

Output

so I will close this issue as a duplicate. Please let me know if you see something different!
