Thanks @ariostas! I was gonna do that today since we dropped py3.9 in coffea main yesterday

@pfackeldey since you have more experience with uv, what's the right way to install awkward-cpp from the main branch into the uv environment?

[ikrommyd]

I am aware of this syntax

uv pip install git+https://github.com/scikit-hep/awkward.git#subdirectory=awkward-cpp

but this still runs into the problem

      CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:29 (message):
        awkward-cpp relies upon generated and copied artefacts such as the
        header-only libraries and generated kernel headers.  These could not be
        found, which indicates that



            nox -s prepare



        was skipped or failed.  Please check
        https://github.com/scikit-hep/awkward#installation-for-developers to learn
        more about this process.



      *** CMake configuration failed

      hint: This usually indicates a problem with the package or the build environment.

Probably just cloning in ci, run nox -s prepare for awkward and install with uv pip install -v ./awkward-cpp as if you were installing for local development is just best. You can also just install awkward too in the same step since you would be cloning anyways.

@henryiii is there a way to get awkward-cpp from main without cloning? Should there be a way if that's not the case? Can this nox -s prepare requirement be ditched?

[henryiii]

I think we could trigger that via cmake instead of via nox, then it would be possible.

This is what I tried doing here, but I'm not sure why it's not working.

ci right now shows failures in the "Save results to file" step, not installation. You can also use uvx instead of pipx btw. Also, If I remember correctly, awkward does not provide any extras so [test] is not doing anything.

Uhmmm @ariostas in the last ci run, the windows py3.13 tests failed but I do not see a single actual test failure in the logs
