setuptools_scm 8.0.x breaks pybuilder plugin pybuilder-scm-ver-plugin

[chylek]

Hi. The pybuilder plugin pybuilder-scm-ver-plugin uses your package only to obtain the current version from SCM during the creation of a package. There is no need to include it in pyproject.toml (or in any other way) as the version is hard-coded after the pybuilder is done with its build and setuptools_scm is not longer needed.

Can you make the check optional? At least when calling setuptools_scm.get_version directly.

please provide some context

for context - when using get_version, no pyproject data is read

oh, apologies, I have misinterpreted the log output. There were two "errors" regarding setuptools_scm:

And

2023-09-21T15:10:34.625340+00:00	INFO	Step #2 - "build_package": BUILD FAILED - AttributeError: module 'setuptools_scm' has no attribute 'DEFAULT_VERSION_SCHEME' (site-packages/pybuilder_scm_ver_plugin/__init__.py:14)

The failure was due to the second error. You have removed DEFAULT_VERSION_SCHEME and DEFAULT_LOCAL_SCHEME from public.

The plugin was used to using it:

version_scheme = project.get_property("scm_ver_version_scheme", setuptools_scm.DEFAULT_VERSION_SCHEME)
local_scheme = project.get_property("scm_ver_local_scheme", setuptools_scm.DEFAULT_LOCAL_SCHEME)

i can expose those attributes a while longer, but they will eventually be removed

i strongly recommend leaving the key out empty if no default was given

[chylek]

thanks, it would be nice to have them for a little longer. It will give us time to create PR with changes to the plugin.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

For now they stay until the new api for building is ready and adopted

Once the api is available there will be warnings
