Version Info

rye version infos :

rye 0.27.0
commit: 0.27.0 (43ee4fce0 2024-02-26)
platform: windows (x86_64)
self-python: [email protected]
symlink support: true
uv enabled: false

Stacktrace

No response

[cnpryer]

I couldn't reproduce this on my windows machine with 0.28.0 (main).

❯ rye --version
rye 0.28.0
commit: 0.27.0+8 (2111778b3 2024-02-28)
platform: windows (x86_64)
self-python: [email protected]
symlink support: false
uv enabled: false

I tried doing things like self installing it into my current environment, using a completely wiped home directory, using [email protected] and 3.11 internally, and pinning different versions for the project.

Are you able to reproduce this in a different windows environment?

[bluss]

The warnings indicate it's using a very old pip tools version, is that a Windows thing? Rye should recreate C:\Users\xxx.rye\pip-tools\[email protected] if you remove it, so you could try that and see what happens.

[QuentinDstl]

I used pip 23.2 (when running into this error) and are now using pip 24.0. @cnpryer I am not able to reproduce it in a different windows environment. @bluss I remove [email protected] but rye is not recreating it, I only have the following error msg :

C:\Users\xxx\xx\x\.venv\Scripts>rye sync        
Reusing already existing virtualenv
Generating production lockfile: C:\Users\xxx\xx\x\requirements.lock

@QuentinDstl Hm, ok that's confusing, not sure why it would happen like that. the intention was to remove exactly the C:\Users\xxx\.rye\pip-tools\[email protected] directory, and I can't see why that wouldn't trigger a reinstall of pip-tools (it does for me, platform: linux). Note it's about the pip-tools install which is separate from pip, separate version number etc.

[majidaldo]

same issue. related https://github.com/astral-sh/rye/issues/368

isn't uv supposed to take over by now?

[majidaldo]

same issue. related #368

isn't uv supposed to take over by now?

got further by reinstalling my rye. got the new resolvers.

[QuentinDstl]

I will try to reinstall rye

I had the same error right after I updated from 0.27.0 to 0.28.0, but it worked by running the following command and reinstalling.

rm -r ~/.rye

@koei-kaji

Thank you! I solved it in the way you suggested👍.

[bluss]

Maybe fixed by #865? It ensures new pip-tools

rm -r ~/.rye

Needed remove only ~/.rye/pip-tools. And need not reinstall rye.
