bob.db.base depends on bob.io.image without declaring that in the requirements.txt
When creating a database from scratch using bob_db_manage.py
, I have the problem that bob.io.image
is required, but it is not declared in the requirements.txt
.
The reason is as follows:
- While test cases are usually not part of the package,
setup.py
https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.db.base/blob/15998f2dab6de6da677125c3eb19c42d61172c52/setup.py#L38 links the test database. - While
bob_db_manage.py
parses all databases, it tries toimport
the test database. - The test database requires
bob.io.image
to be present: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.db.base/blob/15998f2dab6de6da677125c3eb19c42d61172c52/bob/db/base/tests/sample/models.py#L14
-
Quick fix: move the import bob.io.image
into the function, where it is actually required. -
Real fix (includes the quick fix): add bob.io.image
to the test requirements
