Hello,

My CI goes into infinite resolution when trying to install a project's dependencies for testing:

pip install -e .[test] --use-feature=2020-resolver -i https://artifactory.company.com/api/pypi/pypi/simple

Additional information

In the above output, PIP_OPTS is set to --use-feature=2020-resolver -i https://artifactory.company.com/api/pypi/pypi/simple.

We use a company hosted index that does not have any issues with pip==20.2.3.

Hi! Thanks for filing this issue! Could you share the requirements that pip is trying to install? This would be in the setup.py/pyproject.toml for the relevant project.

The "public" dependencies are:

    install_requires=[
        'cerberus',
        '<inhouse component 1>',
        '<inhouse component 2>',
        '<inhouse component 3>',
        '<inhouse component 4>',
        '<inhouse component 5>',
        'pint',
        '<inhouse component 6>',
        '<inhouse component 7>',
        'toolz',
        'pyyaml>=5.1',
    ],
    extras_require={'test': ['pylint', 'pytest>=4', 'pytest-cov', 'pytest-html', 'pytest-xdist',]},

however as you can see we have multiple inhouse libraries that are also required.

Not sure if it will end up being relevant, but it might be worth noting that I pre-pip install deprecation six toolz, meaning that I actually do:

pip install deprecation six toolz ${PIP_OPTS}
# some more pip installation using the new resolver
pip install -e .[test] ${PIP_OPTS}

Thanks for sharing that. However, this information still isn't sufficient to reproduce this issue. :(

I'd basically need the entire mapping of (package-name, version): [dependencies] that pip sees during the resolution process to be able to debug this, and I obviously can't look up the dependencies of your internal packages. ;)

So, a couple of related questions:

  • could you possibly create a minimal reproducer for this, so that we can try this without needing access to the internal packages? :)
    • if not, would it be possible to provide something like the mapping I mentioned above, for the packages that pip looks at during the resolution process?
  • does this error occur even when installing as . instead of .[test] (i.e. without the test extra)?

I'd basically need to recreate/see what the internal state of the resolver is, when it gets stuck, which we don't print out/log anywhere for a bunch of reasons.

Okay so I've been trying to reproduce the issue locally without any success.

I've tried to reproduce this in our CI on another branch and again it did not fail.

So I went back to the original branch that was have issues earlier today and switched back to 20.2.4 and it succeeded in resolving the dependencies this time...

Could this be an issue with caching or something?

Our CI works with k8s runners so I doubt this could be the case.

Should I close this and reopen if it happens again?

Could this be an issue with caching or something?

pip doesn't cache anything during dependency resolution -- only network I/O. I don't think it could be that.

Should I close this and reopen if it happens again?

Sure! That works for me. If you are able to come up with a reproducer, that'd be awesome!

Hey, I'm also seeing a similar problem that suddenly began a day ago.

On pip 20.2.4, I'm able to reproduce this with just

pip install --use-feature=2020-resolver "google-api-core>1.18.0,<1.21.0" "google-cloud-monitoring>=2.0.0"

The behavior seems a bit non-deterministic, but each time it will start downloading many versions (possibly every version!) of a dependency and either get stuck in a Requirement already satisfied loop or just appears to freeze entirely. This is a boiled down example, but we had a CI build get stuck for 6 hours before getting killed.

Notice that the two libs I'm trying to install actually cause a version conflict and if I drop the --use-feature=2020-resolver I get a normal error message:

google-cloud-monitoring 2.0.0 requires google-api-core[grpc]<2.0.0dev,>=1.22.2, but you'll have google-api-core 1.20.1 which is incompatible.

also if I drop down to pip 20.2.3 (and use the 2020-resolver) I also quickly get a dependency conflict error.

If I change the above requirement to google-cloud-monitoring<2.0.0 then it works fine, both with and without the 2020-resolver

Hope this helps

I just ran into this as well - I ran the new resolver against an existing (quite large) requirements.txt file and it ended up running into an infinite loop of Requirement already satisfied.

Here are my steps to reproduce: https://gist.github.com/simonw/c53ad97ac2cd495e741b52f88d22b45d

Shorter version: I ran pip install --use-feature=2020-resolver -r requirements.txt against this file: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/simonw/c53ad97ac2cd495e741b52f88d22b45d/raw/e09640304fcdf1990844f8ff8ecc92ef654d21b7/requirements.txt

Running without the --use-feature= flag gives me this:

ERROR: After October 2020 you may experience errors when installing or updating packages. This is because pip will change the way that it resolves dependency conflicts.

We recommend you use --use-feature=2020-resolver to test your packages with the new resolver before it becomes the default.

pocket-to-sqlite 0.2 requires sqlite-utils~=2.4.4, but you'll have sqlite-utils 2.22 which is incompatible.
healthkit-to-sqlite 0.5 requires sqlite-utils~=2.4.4, but you'll have sqlite-utils 2.22 which is incompatible.

Though oddly the infinite loop problem didn't mention those packages - it looked like this:

I fixed my problem by switching all of my ~= requirements for >= requirements.

So I think there's a bug here, but it's a user interface bug: the infinite looping requirements appears to have been triggered by the dependency conflict that showed in the warning, but the error itself (infinite loop over Requirement already satisfied for some unrelated package) was really confusing.

Using the current master branch, all reproducers are failing basically immediately. I've run them in a clean virtualenv on an Ubuntu VM, with pip's master branch installed in editable mode w/ setuptools 41.2.0.

I attempted to use the latest master branch but I'm not seeing any difference, pip still hangs when I try to run the command I originally posted. Maybe I'm not doing something right, but I tried this both in the standard python:3.7 docker image and natively on macos in a fresh virtualenv:

Also, it appears this is not limited to just 20.2.4. I was able to cause the same infinite loop issue in other versions of 20.2 (every release that has the 2020-resolver flag) with the following command (slightly different from the one I posted above):

I think I’ve identified the problem. Fix submitted in sarugaku/resolvelib#60, where I also described my understanding to the problem.

@uranusjr I think I have an inhouse way of reproducing this issue.

How can I test your PR? I am not sure how resolvelib integrates into pip...

This is now one of the two major blockers to releasing pip 20.3, just FYI for folks reading.

Update: A fix for this was put together. pip 20.3 (which should include the fix) will likely happen soon, but I have updated my fork (mentioned in this comment) to include it. Feel free to try it out and report whether it indeed solves the issue!

I'm getting an infinite loop trying to install the following requirements.txt with pip==20.3 into a fresh venv, python version 3.8.5 on Mac:

tensorboard==2.2.2
torch==1.7.0
tqdm>=4.54

nltk==3.5.0
transformers==3.5.0
tokenizers==0.9.4
jsonlines>=1.2
sacrebleu>=1.4

pytest>=6.1
pytest-cov>=2.10
codecov>=2.1
flake8>=3.8
black==20.8b1

The install eventually gets stuck in a loop, with following output repeated:

Requirement already satisfied: typing-extensions>=3.7.4 in ./testenv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from black==20.8b1->-r requirements.txt (line 15)) (3.7.4.3)
Requirement already satisfied: regex>=2020.1.8 in ./testenv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from black==20.8b1->-r requirements.txt (line 15)) (2020.11.13)
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools>=41.0.0 in ./testenv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from tensorboard==2.2.2->-r requirements.txt (line 1)) (44.0.0)

Output from 20.2.4 with --use-feature=2020-resolver enabled:

ERROR: Cannot install tokenizers==0.9.4 and transformers 3.5.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

.. but the install does terminate.

Edit: fixing the conflict by requiring transformers==4.0.0 installs OK.

Running into this as well.

Here is requirements file that reproduces it for me using pip 20.3
pip --version pip 20.3 from /home/elijah/venvs/pipresolve/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

boto
boto3
botocore
cryptography
elasticsearch
gcloud
google-api-python-client
junit-xml
junit2html
junitparser
kubernetes>=8.0.0,<9.0.0
openshift==0.8.9

With 20.2.4, the installation does have the error:
openshift 0.8.9 requires urllib3<1.25, but you'll have urllib3 1.26.2 which is incompatible. but the installation does complete

@tomhosking’s case eventually gives me

ERROR: Cannot install -r r.txt (line 6) and tokenizers==0.9.4 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested tokenizers==0.9.4
    transformers 3.5.0 depends on tokenizers==0.9.3

To fix this you could try to:
1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

ERROR: ResolutionImpossible: for help visit https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#fixing-conflicting-dependencies

I have not finished the second one, but expect it to also result in an eventual error judging by the output.

In both cases, the output seems stuck since they repetitively showed the same packages over and over again. But when inspected closely, the resolver very occassionally spit out different things, indicating progress.

@tomhosking’s example:

  Downloading codecov-2.1.5-py2.py3-none-any.whl (16 kB)
(a ton of setuptools and wheel lines)
  Downloading codecov-2.1.4-py2.py3-none-any.whl (16 kB)
(a ton of setuptools and wheel lines)
  Downloading codecov-2.1.3.tar.gz (18 kB)
(goes on and on)

@kdelee’s example:

  Using cached junit-xml-1.8.tar.gz (10.0 kB)
(a ton of setuptools lines)
  Using cached junit-xml-1.7.tar.gz (9.1 kB)
(a ton of setuptools lines)
  Downloading junit-xml-1.6.tar.gz (9.1 kB)
(...)

So I don’t think there is a logical error in the resolver, only that pip’s output isn’t doing a good job expressing how it’s trying (very slightly) different things.

That is believable, so while this may not be a case of "infinite" recursion, it is still trying out finitely more than I can wait around for (currently have a job thats been running for over 3 hours looping in the pip install.) and does not really tell me whats wrong. Sounds like #9185 is a good idea

Thanks for checking @uranusjr! A bit like @kdelee, I found this because a CI workflow timed out. Some way of failing faster or with less excessive output would be great :)

The reports coming in at this time are different from what this was originally for (and what it tracked as a release blocker for 20.3).

I'm gonna close this in favor of #9187, since I'd like to keep 20.2.4 vs 20.3 reports in separate issues.
