Custom installation options present in the pyproject.toml

[hongbo-miao]

Summary

I have some projects that need install by following certain steps

uv sync --extra=build
uv sync --extra=build --extra=compile

base on https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/config/#build-isolation

Currently Renovate cannot upgrade dependencies for these projects.

I originally asked at renovatebot/renovate#33811

This would need uv side to support to let Renovate know what is proper steps to install. It would be great to support a field so that Renovate knows how to install, thanks! ☺️

As a workaround for now, you could duplicate the extra information in a dependency group, and set the dependency to install by default:
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/dependencies/#default-groups

Thanks @nathanjmcdougall . In my case, the installation order is also important. For example,

[project]
name = "mineru"
version = "1.0.0"
requires-python = "~=3.12.0"

[project.optional-dependencies]
build = [
  "setuptools",
  "torch",
]
compile = [
  "detectron2",
  "magic-pdf[full]==1.1.0",
]
paddlepaddle-gpu = [
  "paddlepaddle-gpu==3.0.0b2",
]

[dependency-groups]
dev = [
  "poethepoet==0.32.2",
  "pytest-cov==6.0.0",
  "pytest==8.3.4",
]

[tool.uv]
package = false
prerelease = "allow"
no-build-isolation-package = ["detectron2"]

[tool.uv.sources]
detectron2 = { git = "https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git", branch = "main" }
paddlepaddle-gpu = { index = "paddlepaddle-gpu" }

[[tool.uv.index]]
name = "paddlepaddle-gpu"
url = "https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu118"
explicit = true

[tool.poe.tasks]
dev = "python src/main.py"
test = "pytest --verbose --verbose"
test-coverage = "pytest --cov=. --cov-report=xml"

I have to install based on order

uv sync --extra=build
uv sync --extra=build --extra=compile
uv sync --extra=build --extra=compile --extra=paddlepaddle-gpu
uv sync --extra=build --extra=compile --extra=paddlepaddle-gpu --dev

I wrote the reason why have to install like this at here if you are curious about why.

I assume you are referring to project.optional-dependencies:

which I do not think can help installing based on certain order. 😔

[nathanjmcdougall]

Ah I understand the issue now. An issue is the no-build-isolation workaround for detectron2 which current requires multiple steps per
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/config/#build-isolation
(see #2252 for other examples).

So you want some declarative configuration which renovate could use to know the correct sequence of uv commands to run. You're right, my suggestion won't help with that.

[hongbo-miao]

Yup, that will help Renovate, otherwise all dependencies failed to bump versions and just stuck there like

• fix(mineru): update dependency magic-pdf to v1.2.2 hongbo-miao/hongbomiao.com#24323
• chore(mineru): update dependency pytest to v8.3.5 hongbo-miao/hongbomiao.com#24528
• chore(mineru): update dependency poethepoet to v0.33.0 hongbo-miao/hongbomiao.com#24628

Thanks! ☺️
