Hi,
Hello,
I was planning on packaging q2-gneiss, but gneiss is a missing
dependency which I am packaging right now[1]. Right now, I care about
getting gneiss to run properly hence the incomplete package.
During nosetest, there is only one error[2]. This is because there is a
missing module called Bokeh.
If it's a test-only dependency, IMO you can simply skip that particular test for now.
And enable testing it when bokeh is packaged and accepted into the archive.
Looking at Bokeh's situation, it seems like
it isn't in the repository, but there has been interest for packaging[3].
As an additional work - you can enquire about the status of bokeh packaging by replying to the bug, CC'ing Diane (who's doing the original work)
I should also note that within setup.py, bokeh is not listed as a
requirement to build or install, so this makes me have the feeling that
perhaps bokeh is not important to have for this package's core
functionality?
Yeah, I'd anticipate probably not needed.
All the upstream tests but one pass, as you reported above - this sounds more convincing that it's very likely not needed.
FWIW: Bokeh is a data visualization module, and maybe that's used in tests to visualize and confirm the results of gneiss and nothing more.
I need some advice as to whether or not I should continue packaging
this, or if there is a suggestion to do something else to work around
this missing module or something.
I hope my reply helps you? :-)
Kind regards,
Nilesh
