it's probably good to check this works, in case there are any errors in setup.py - it only takes about 5 seconds during CI anyway

I think we can use a more explicit name for the virtual env, maybe pymc-dev-env instead of testenv?

or just pymc3-dev - sure!

git's new way of switching branches - git checkout still works, but this is meant to be more intuitive to beginners

and this creates a new branch too?

yup, -c for "create"

this includes all the requirements.txt already + gives a local editable install

is there a reason to have all these documentation-related dependencies in here or can they be removed? I don't know how the docs are built, but maybe these could live in a separate environment-docs.yml environment

Yeah, we can move these to a separate env file, but shouldn't just drop them here.

OK - ended up putting them back an, as they don't take up much extra time anyway, all I've removed now are some nose/unittest-related ones (which shouldn't be necessary any more, given that pytest is used?), and some (bokeh and seaborn) which are only used in a handful of notebooks

I was getting conflicts when I removed that, made an environment with Python 3.7, and then updated from the file, see #4281
I think we should maybe make three different environment files: environment-dev-py36.yml, environment-dev-py37.yml, and environment-dev-py38.yml

just tried that, and it works fine (no conflicts!), so that's what I've pushed

I don't think that's necessary. Can't we pin 38 here instead?

As in, pin 3.8 here and then run the tests using that?
could do, but I would've thought it would be better to run the tests on the earliest supported version of Python, else someone could accidentally use something modern (e.g. the walrus operator), tests pass, but then pymc3 breaks when people install it using Python3.6. On the other hand, if the tests pass on Python3.6, it's far less likely that they'll break on Python3.8
Like this, the full test suite can be run with environment-dev-py36.yml, the arviz compatitiblity tests with environment-dev-py38.yml, and hopefully most bases will be covered

Oh, so dev is used to specify the GH action env?
I was thinking this is for people who want to set up a dev environment locally. I suppose it can be both in which case your suggestion of having different envs for different python versions would make sense.

yup, that's right - check .github/workflows/pytest.yml
- uses: conda-incubator/setup-miniconda@v2
with:
activate-environment: pymc3-dev-py36
channel-priority: strict
environment-file: conda-envs/environment-dev-py36.yml
use-only-tar-bz2: true # IMPORTANT: This needs to be set for caching to work properly!
(on master it's currently environment-dev.yml)

This is great, thanks @MarcoGorelli! |
