Pytest-xdist: LookupError: setuptools-scm could not detect version

When installing pytest-xdist I get this error:

 Collecting pytest-xdist>=1.15.0 Downloading https://company.com/pypi/packages/dc/b2/a59db3ef996b93c3ef35dbbc33557a71ef67a6839d94a52c88eeb1086002/pytest-xdist-1.15.0.tar.gz (87kB) 100% |████████████████████████████████| 92kB 70.2MB/s Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/tmp/pip-build-vyEgO5/pytest-xdist/setup.py", line 37, in <module> 'Programming Language :: Python :: 3', File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 111, in setup _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs) File "/home/company/package_name/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 318, in __init__ _Distribution.__init__(self, attrs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 287, in __init__ self.finalize_options() File "/home/company/package_name/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py", line 376, in finalize_options ep.load()(self, ep.name, value) File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/setuptools_scm/integration.py", line 21, in version_keyword File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/setuptools_scm/__init__.py", line 118, in get_version File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/setuptools_scm/__init__.py", line 96, in _do_parse LookupError: setuptools-scm was unable to detect version for '/tmp/pip-build-vyEgO5/pytest-xdist'. Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work. For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj ---------------------------------------- Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-vyEgO5/pytest-xdist/ 

I was able to successfully install pytest-xdist, but I'm not sure what has changed :(

It looks like you are clicking https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm/issues/164 . As a workaround, you can connect setuptools-scm to a previous version in your requirements file. Txt:

 setuptools_scm == 1.15.0 

Edit: the problem has been fixed up and a new version of setuptools-scm (1.15.4) has been released. You should no longer see this without even tying the version.
