Building wheel package fails with JS dependency error
I'm trying to build the wheel from scratch, for packaging for Arch Linux, but am running into a dependency issue. I believe the lockfile needs to be updated. To reproduce:
$ git clone https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py.git

This problem can be worked around by causing the lockfile to be invalid, so dependencies are evaluated again, but that is not desirable in the context of reproducible builds.
Nice to see that this was picked up already. Is there anything I can do to help out here? I have tried regenerating the lockfile but that runs into different issues because certain libraries no longer type check. Nevertheless, I'd be happy to help solving this issue.
@bertptrs I've been trying to recreate the issue you encounter and have been able to when I have jupyterlab 4 installed. I was wondering is --no-isolation a requirement for you here? With --no-isolation, as far as I know, it's not going to install the build dependency versions specified in the project.toml file https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/blob/master/packages/python/plotly/pyproject.toml#L2
In places in CI when doing the builds, we specifically install jupyterlab 3 first: https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml for example, here https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml#L350
Thanks for looking into this! I think you found the issue.
I am indeed building with jupyterlab (4.2.5) as I am packaging plotly for Arch Linux which as a rolling distro works with the latest version of its dependencies by default. Shipping an older version is tricky as (as far as I know) different installs of jupyterlab cannot coexist system-wide.
You gave me some ideas on how to make this work, so thank you!
Even though the issue is closed, I'd still like to share the update that this has been resolved, Arch Linux now ships jupyterlab 3.x to properly build plotly and it all works as far as I can tell.
