I have a dependency in my requirements.txt that comes from another git repo (not mine, but I have access to it).
Yesterday I merged a PR and after applied the tag v0.1.5 to it. In sequence I updated my projects requirements to:
git+https://[email protected]/repowner/[email protected]
The dependency installed with no issues. However I spotted a bug and decided to fix it. I created a new branch, changed the version in the setup.py, assigned the tag v0.1.5b, and used git push and git push --tags, all before merging. (I assumed this was the right way to do it, instead of applying it later)
Now I updated my requirements to
git+https://[email protected]/repowner/[email protected]
However the version v.0.1.5 is the one getting installed when I execute pip install -r requirements.txt. It doesn't raise any error, it simple ignores the b in the end. I tried to assign the tag into master by using git tag -a v0.1.5b <commit_hash> but I get the return:
fatal: tag 'v0.1.5b' already exists
If I try to just push the tags:
Everything up-to-date
I'm not sure if I wasn't supposed to use the 'b' in the version or there is something else I might have missed? Can someone help me fix it? It would be nice if I can solve it without pushing another commit, (like a v.0.1.6) but I take any solution tbh.
Valid Python public version identifiers all end in a digit:
Public version identifiers
The canonical public version identifiers MUST comply with the following scheme:
[N!]N(.N)*[{a|b|rc}N][.postN][.devN]`
Choosing a versioning scheme is much easier to read than the above PEP 440 description. Here also you'll notice that all patterns end in a digit.
Given that you don't want to increment to v0.1.6, you have the following alternate options:
v0.1.5.post1v0.1.5.dev1Side note: To reassign a tag that you already created to a different commit, use the -f flag on your git tag command and then try that push again.
