Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

ccordoba12 · 2024-05-13T17:57:58Z

This is great! Thanks @mrclary for working on it.

Quick question: how does this work on Windows?

mrclary · 2024-05-13T18:11:45Z

I'm not sure how this works on Windows. I think @jaimergp is still working out some issues. Nevertheless, I wanted to create this draft PR so that I did not forget about it.

ccordoba12

This looks good to me, thanks @mrclary!

I only have a quick question for you: did you manually test these changes on Windows, Linux and Mac? It's not clear if you already did it.

mrclary · 2024-06-28T01:00:43Z

Not yet on Windows and Linux. But I'll do that and report back.

mrclary · 2024-06-29T03:54:05Z

There appear to be some bugs with menuinst >= 2.1, so we could hold off on this for a bit more.

conda-forge-webservices · 2024-07-24T18:57:34Z

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe/meta.yaml) and found it was in an excellent condition.

mrclary · 2024-07-28T21:32:55Z

@jaimergp, do you know when the next menuinst version will be released?

Array options for script and cat-ing to script are incompatible: ("-i" "''" "-e") works for cat-ing but not for script; ("-i" '' "-e") works for script but not cat-ing. For situations that require both script and cat-ing that must work for both GNU and BSD, the only solution is to use "-i.bak -e" and "rm *.bak"

Note: this results in a non-functioning application bundle, with nested application and broken executable stubs (conda/menuinst#179)

Note: this does not appear to establish file type association (conda/menuinst#185)

Note: I don't think this is a comprehensive list

conda-build copies cli-64.exe and spyder-script.py to the Scripts directory after bld.bat is run, so we must copy gui-64.exe such that it does not get clobbered, then use the post-link script to clean things up. This work-around may be removed in the future if/when conda-build adds a feature to specify which executable stub to use. Hopefully, the resulting spyder.exe will also get the Spyder icon.

A few questions and suggestions for you @mrclary.

recipe/meta.yaml

ccordoba12 · 2024-08-16T02:15:44Z

recipe/bld.bat

 for /F "delims=. tokens=1" %%i in ("%PKG_VERSION%") do set PKG_MAJOR_VER=%%i
+call :replace spyder-menu.json spyder-menu.json


Is this replacement correct? Shouldn't it be replacing a .bak file, like in the line just below this one?

:replace reads the lines in the first file and replaces the __PKG_VERSION__ tokens with the major version number, then writes the lines to the second file. The default json file is for menuinst v2, so we just write back to the same file. Any *.json file will be executed by menuinst, so on the line below we also need to rename the spyder-menu-v1.json file so that menuinst does not try to execute on it. The post-link.bat script will determine whether v1 or v2 is in the base environment, and swap them if needed.

But perhaps it would be clearer to just have both files spyder-menu-v1.json and spyder-menu-v2.json, then let post-link.bat add .bak to the unnecessary file.

Actually, the file names in the Menu directory should not change on install so that they will all be removed on uninstall. So it will be best to have spyder-menu-v1.json.bak and spyder-menu.json. Then copy v1 to spyder-menu.json (overwriting) only if necessary.

ccordoba12 · 2024-08-16T02:17:21Z

recipe/bld.bat

-del %SCRIPTS%\spyder_win_post_install.py
-del %SCRIPTS%\spyder.bat
-del %SCRIPTS%\spyder


Why are not we removing these scripts now? I think they shouldn't be part of the package.

I agree that they should not be part of the package. I removed these lines because these files were not being added to the %SCRIPTS% directory, so I assumed they were tech-debt. However, I can double check.

Yes, I've confirmed that these files are not in the Scripts directory of the conda package (or anywhere else). Only the following:

Scripts/.spyder-post-link.bat Scripts/gui-64.exe Scripts/spyder-script.py Scripts/spyder-script.pyw Scripts/spyder.exe Scripts/spyder.ico

ccordoba12 · 2024-08-16T02:20:06Z

recipe/spyder-script.pyw

Why is this script necessary now?

This is required for Spyder to be listed as an application for file types in context menus. Windows looks at the shortcut executable for this, so when using pythonw.exe spyder-script.py, Spyder shows up as Python. In order to fix this, the shortcut must use the spyder.exe executable stub, but this executable stub looks for spyder-script.pyw rather than spyder-script.py.

This is ready to be merged, right @mrclary?

mrclary · 2024-08-20T15:36:59Z

Yes, if you are happy with my responses to your comments.
There is also spyder-ide/spyder#22362 that should be ready.

ccordoba12 · 2024-08-20T15:39:43Z

Yes, if you are happy with my responses to your comments.

Yep, I am. Let's merge it then.
