I'm trying to test the pyproject.toml by building an example.
If I deleted the line "[tool.setuptools_scm]", the build will success, but adding that line, the build will fail with the following error.
Here is the pyproject.toml: /test/example/pyproject.toml
[project]
name = "example"
dynamic = ["version"]
[tool.setuptools.dynamic]
version = {attr = "example.__version__"}
[tool.setuptools_scm]
When building with this command:
# cd /test/example
# python -m build --no-isolation
Here is the error:
* Getting build dependencies for sdist...

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.
For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

What's the correct configuration for [tool.setuptools_scm] in pyproject.toml?
Have a look at the notes left here
To enable version inference, you need to set the version dynamically in the project section of pyproject.toml:
[project]
# version = "0.0.1" # Remove any existing version parameter.
dynamic = ["version"]
[tool.setuptools_scm]
https://setuptools-scm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage I think you need to remove section
[tool.setuptools.dynamic]andversionkey in it
