BUG: No tests exist yet to ensure that packages are being created correctly

[maresb]

Describe the issue:

One case where files were missing: #310

The sdist was not finding the correct version number: #293

I think these examples demonstrate the need for some checks regarding the build process.

Reproducable code example:

n/a

Error message:

No response

PyTensor version information:

n/a

Context for the issue:

No response

@maresb do you have ideas for what to do?

[ricardoV94]

Right now this is what we have: https://github.com/pymc-devs/pytensor/blob/main/.github/workflows/pypi.yml

[maresb]

I'd add more tests, for example:

• Before a release, fail in case the version number from the tag doesn't match the version reported by pytensor.__version__.
• Ensure consistency between pytensor.__version__ and importlib.metadata.version("pytensor")
• Verify that mandatory files are being included in the various distributions (separately for both sdists and wheels)

[ricardoV94]

Are the first two compatible with the current use of versioneer?

[maresb]

Yes, the first two amount to "check that versioneer isn't screwing something up"
