I'm trying to update my Fragment Mono to the latest googlefonts-project-template. So I run make update-project-template then I run make update and I get this error:

test -d venv || python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate; pip install -Ur requirements.txt
ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.in'

So I grab the requirements.in from the latest comit and run it again which updates a bunch of tools then I get this message:

touch venv/touchfile
make: *** No rule to make target `requirements-test.txt', needed by `venv-test/touchfile'.  Stop.

What's that mean?

Ok I see it means that I need to get the 'requirements-test.txt' and 'requirements-test.in' files from the latest comit. So I grab those and then get this error:

Very strange because when I enter pip --version it spits back:

▶ pip --version
pip 24.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)

I'm not surprised by the pip thing. The versions of pip when you run it on the command line and the version installed in the venv are different.

Obviously make update-project-template is not giving you the files which have been created since you used the template, which is a pain. Unfortunately I don't know a better way of forcing an update, but I will see if I can find something.

For pycairo to build, looks like you need brew upgrade libffi.

[weiweihuanghuang]

Can I manually make the update somehow?

[simoncozens]

You don't need to update pip, it should be good enough; you've done the manual update of the template by copying the new files across; you just now need to update libffi.

Ok I wiped reset my project folder and ran the above steps (including copying requirements.in, requirements-test.in, requirements-test.txt) and get a different error now when I run make update:

touch venv/touchfile
test -d venv-test || python3 -m venv venv-test
. venv-test/bin/activate; pip install -Ur requirements-test.txt
/bin/sh: venv-test/bin/activate: No such file or directory
make: *** [venv-test/touchfile] Error 1

[weiweihuanghuang]

The only way I could get it to run make update was by cloning the repo fresh and then running make customize then manually copying the venv folder over. Then I get this error:

venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip-tools
make: venv/bin/pip: No such file or directory
make: *** [update] Error 1

Even though I already have the latest pip:

▶ pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages (24.1.1)

[weiweihuanghuang]

Actually I ended up having to copy basically every file and folder (except sources and customised files) over manually from the fresh customized repo. If there's no problem with me manually copying the updates over then can I just push that as my project comit?
