Can't build release artifacts due to cibuildwheel issue

[mkleehammer]

Cannot build wheels on Windows due to this error:

pypa/cibuildwheel#1748

pypa/cibuildwheel#1740

Unfortunately, it says it is fixed in v2.16.5, but that is the version we are using.

[mkleehammer]

@keitherskine Have you run into this? Any ideas?

[mkleehammer]

The #1740 comment indicates it is sporadic for them. Maybe GH is running different runner versions?

[mkleehammer]

Now I'm getting something else: Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: actions/upload-artifact@v3. For more information see:

It appears GH is not being consistent.

This is a warning that I believe is coming from the setup-qemu action, which uses node. The action has already been updated and we're using the latest version. It really seems like GH might be using old versions of actions? That would be such a huge bug I really doubt it.

I haven't seen this. To test, I have manually kicked off the artifacts build for tag 5.1.0 (on mkleehammer/pyodbc). Let's see if it completes successfully. On my pyodbc fork, I didn't see an error after I updated the versions of the Github Action utilities.

Build run: https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/actions/runs/7787826214
Takes about 10-15 minutes.

[mkleehammer]

Your build is already past the error I'm seeing: https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/actions/runs/7769781696/job/21236111461

That build has completed and the zip files of wheels can be downloaded.

The previous build failed but that was based on commit bc5b7c6 which is not tag 5.1.0 (commit f075e33). Is that the issue?

[keitherskine]

Meanwhile, the Appveyor build tests for tag 5.1.0 has completed:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mkleehammer/pyodbc/builds/49115239

[mkleehammer]

I've uploaded the binaries from your build. I'm going to close this. If the new GH workflow is having issues, I'm sure they'll be worked out before we need them again.

Great stuff! pyodbc appears to work on my M1 now "clean":

By the way, @mkleehammer , I have updated the Wiki release notes which were rather out-of-date. They should be accurate now.
