BUG: Gitpod terminal not showing latest version of pymc

[reshamas]

Describe the issue:

I was going through the Gitpod process again. I started from the beginning (forked my repo), etc. And this time it is showing an older version of pymc.

(When I did it a few days ago, it was showing version 5.1.0).

Reproduceable code example:

(base) gitpod@reshamas-pymc-d0ep89s0e45:/workspace/pymc$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/reshamas/pymc.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/reshamas/pymc.git (push)
upstream        https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc.git (fetch)
upstream        https://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc.git (push)
(base) gitpod@reshamas-pymc-d0ep89s0e45:/workspace/pymc$ pip list | grep pymc
pymc                          4.4.0+352.g56037929 /workspace/pymc
pymc-sphinx-theme             0.1
(base) gitpod@reshamas-pymc-d0ep89s0e45:/workspace/pymc$ python3 --version
Python 3.11.0
(base) gitpod@reshamas-pymc-d0ep89s0e45:/workspace/pymc$

I spun up Gitpod and good news is it is now showing version 5.1.1:

(base) gitpod@reshamas-pymc-syxfrf90fp0:/workspace/pymc$ pip list | grep pymc
pymc                          5.1.1+37.g83cd926e /workspace/pymc
pymc-sphinx-theme             0.1
(base) gitpod@reshamas-pymc-syxfrf90fp0:/workspace/pymc$ 

It's not 4.4.0, which is good. However it is not showing 5.1.2, which is the current one.

Ya, I think this is just versioneer weirdness, and nothing to be worried about. I will try to fix it when I can find time

Hey there 👋

On April 3rd, Gitpod will upgrade the default workspace images to utilize the latest Long Term Support (LTS) version of Ubuntu. There are potential breaking changes depending on the current workspace image you are using.

If you do experience any problems with your workspace, kindly submit an issue in the workspace-images repository.

In the meantime, we recommend following the steps outlined here.

Happy coding,

The Gitpod Team

We are using a customized dev container, so this change will not affect our Gitpod setup.

Is this still a problem @reshamas @maresb ?

[maresb]

We may want to update the docs at https://www.pymc.io/projects/docs/en/latest/contributing/using_gitpod.html

We might want to add some instructions for updating the version; something like:

cd /workspace/pymc
git checkout main
git pull upstream main
pip install -e .
python -c "import pymc; print(pymc.__version__)"

Yes, it indicates 303 commits after the 5.1.1 tag with Git sha 6f8f9ee.

[maresb]

@reshamas, thanks so much for tackling this in #7106. There I suggested an update to the git pull command:

git pull upstream main --tags

I'd expect running this command followed by pip install -e . should hopefully result in the version number being reported relative to the latest release tag instead of the old 5.1.1 you were seeing above.

@maresb @ricardoV94
Should we close this issue?

[maresb]

Yes, closed by #7106. Thanks @reshamas!
