Incorrect Version When Running `pip-licenses --version`

by ADMIN 56 views

Introduction

When running the pip-licenses command with the --version flag, it displays an incorrect version number. This issue arises from the pyproject.toml file, where the version is defined as dynamic and points to a specific value in the piplicenses.py file. In this article, we will explore the cause of this issue and provide a solution to update the __version__ value correctly.

Understanding the Issue

The pyproject.toml file is used to define the project's metadata, including the version number. In this case, the version is defined as dynamic and points to the following value in the piplicenses.py file:

# piplicenses.py
__version__ = "5.0.0"

However, when running the pip-licenses command with the --version flag, it displays a different version number. This discrepancy arises from the fact that the __version__ value is not being updated correctly.

Updating the __version__ Value

To update the __version__ value correctly, we need to modify the pyproject.toml file to point to the correct value. We can do this by changing the version field to a static value, such as 6.0.0.

# pyproject.toml
[tool.poetry]
name = "pip-licenses"
version = "6.0.0"

Alternatively, we can update the __version__ value in the piplicenses.py file to match the version number displayed by the pip-licenses command.

# piplicenses.py
__version__ = "6.0.0"

Preparing a PR

If you are willing to contribute to the pip-licenses project, you can prepare a pull request (PR) with the updated __version__ value. This will ensure that the correct version number is displayed when running the pip-licenses command with the --version flag.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the incorrect version issue with the pip-licenses command arises from the pyproject.toml file, where the version is defined as dynamic and points to a specific value in the piplicenses.py file. By updating the __version__ value correctly, we can ensure that the correct version number is displayed when running the pip-licenses command with the --version flag.
