Error setting up venv as per documentation
I'm following the instructions in the readme file to set up a virtual environment. As below and I am getting errors.
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -e . -r requirements.txt
pre-commit install
The following error occurs when I try to install the requirements.txt by running the following inside my project directory
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -e . -r requirements.txt
ERROR: File "setup.py" or "setup.cfg" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /Users/daniel/Documents/Git/cfn-provider
the requirements file is in the root directory of the cli repo. are you sure you are installing from the correct path?
Yes I am running those commands from the same directory where the requirements.txt lives.
If I change it to the following it will install the module. pip install -r requirements.txt
the "-e ." for pip is instructing pip to install in editable mode
-e, --editable <path/url> Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.
the fact that it's not finding setup.py is a pretty strong indication that you are not in the right directory or there is something off with your shell.
closing this for now. please try to replicate + include all commands issued and will look into this again if you still have this issue.
