[Libre-soc-dev] Soc compunit tests failing me

[Kyle Lehman]

Heh, yeah I followed the HDL workflow page religiously because I'm aware of pip3 versioning hell.  Pip3 list looked fine, everything pointed at my src.

Read through IRC, so I nuked the src directory, used the hdl-dev-repos-venv script instead  of hdl-dev-repos and now tests works.

you may have run into the infamous issue of not running the installation in exact and strict order, resulting in pip3 performing unauthorised downloads without your consent.

usually this is taken care of with by the dev-env-setup scripts which follow the required precise and exact order.

can you please run "pip3 list"
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_list/

and if that contains any of the following run the "uninstall" command on every single one:

* nmigen
* nmigen-soc
* c4m-jtag
* libresoc-nmutil
* libresoc-openpower-isa
* libresoc-ieee754fpu

these all take PRIORITY over what you have installed by running "python3 setup.py develop" and they are all OUT OF DATE.

you will need to manually work out the order.  if you have all of them then it is highly likely that you jumped to the "soc" repo, straight away, without first installing the required dependencies.

the discussion on irc yesterday will give some insight:
https://libre-soc.org/irclog/%23libre-soc.2021-09-03.log.html#t2021-09-03T07:50:15

you MUST run the installation in the correct order (as specified in both HDL_workflow if you use that, or by examining the dev-env-setup scripts) in order to stop pip3 from going off and performing unauthorised arbitrary downloads.
