Issues Installing xmlsec==1.3.13 with Python 3.12.7 and Poetry 1.8.5: Missing tool.setuptools_scm Section in pyproject.toml

[codehia]

I'm trying to install xmlsec==1.3.13 using Python 3.12.7 and Poetry 1.8.5, but I keep encountering the following warning:

WARNING setuptools_scm.pyproject_reading toml section missing 'pyproject.toml does not contain a tool.setuptools_scm section'

Has anyone encountered this issue or know how to resolve it? Any suggestions on how to address the missing tool.setuptools_scm section in pyproject.toml would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same warning message and I spent some time trying to figure out what is wrong with pyproject.toml or setuptools_scm, but in the end this was not why the installation failed. This is the error I received:

18.34   ERROR: Failed building wheel for xmlsec

After some time I decided to ignore the pyproject.toml part, and lookup up error: Unable to invoke pkg-config. and I found this issue: #158

I used a Dockerfile and this is where the installation failed:

RUN pip wheel --wheel-dir /usr/src/app/wheels -r ${BUILD_ENVIRONMENT}.txt

I added the suggested command from #158 to reinstall those apt packages before running pip wheel, and after that installation was successful.

RUN apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y pkg-config libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libxmlsec1-openssl

RUN pip wheel --wheel-dir /usr/src/app/wheels -r ${BUILD_ENVIRONMENT}.txt
