Conda environment fails to create about og-uk HOT 9 CLOSED

@rickecon Thanks for this detailed report and for drilling down on the source of the errors.

I'm getting the same errors your report when I try to create the environment on my machine (running Mac OS 11.5.2). Note that in PR #22, the GH Actions were able to build the environment without problem on Linux and Windows.

Per @nikhilwoodruff's suggestion, I set python<=3.7.11 and my environment built and I can create the oguk package and run the model.

I commented out the - git+https://github.com/PSLmodels/openfisca-uk line in environment.py, cleared any old oguk-dev conda environment material, and created the new oguk-dev environment. Everything went well and smoothly, although it took 26 minutes (2 minutes for the initial environment dependencies and 24 minutes for the pip install of OG-Core). But it worked. So the conflict is definitely being generated by the pip install of openfisca-uk.

1. We need to find out why this is not working on Mac OSX.
2. We need to confirm that the environment can build on a Windows and/or Linux machine (e.g., like @jpycroft's or @nikhilwoodruff's)
3. Should we add OSX to the matrix.os in the OG-UK GH Action?

@rickecon I should be able to test this later, but at first glance it looks like the (or at least one) issue is that the Python version is 3.9 - currently we're only building OpenFisca-UK on 3.7.7, so might need to add a <= condition in the version requirement?

@rickecon asks:

Should we add OSX to the matrix.os in the OG-UK GH Action?

Unfortunately, adding OS X to the testing matrix isn't straight-forward (see this Tax-Calculator PR for discussion and links to more info).

@rickecon Can you try again using the main branch now that I've merged PR #29?

Hi Jason,

I’ve been trying out the new oguk-dev environment and (drum roll please … ) it installs! The conda activate oguk-dev worked fine. And no errors with the “pip install -e .” I've attached the conda output below.

Then I thought I’d try to run the example “python run_oguk.py” in the “examples/” folder. This generated over 5000 lines of errors. Many errors reference matplotlib (I checked that my matplotlib is up-to-date, of course). I've also attached that output below.

Best, Jon

@jpycroft Thank you for the report!

I'll close this issue (since you were able install the environment). And I'll take a look at the tracebacks from your trying to run the example. I'll also open up an issue to discuss that.
