The testing issue was resolved in python-libvcs 0.41.0.

For me this fixed it. Seems that libvcs from system-packages shadows gitconfig from pytest-gitconfig

The cause for my comment was a recurring message from apdatifier that an update for python-copier is available. But the update failed again and again. Now with a fresh update it works without any more messages regarding python-copier.

@R41zW4z: What commands are you running to build the package and run the check function? python-questionary is already in depends and normally that should be enough for the packages listed there to be also available when check is run.

"Build fails during check() because of missing dependency: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'questionary'. Adding python-questionary to checkdepends should fix this."

python-copier failed to build

checkdeps arent being loaded? what am i doing wrong?

The tests fail because of argument parser help output i18n. Building with LC_ALL=C makepkg makes the test pass.

The check function also fails when the package has already been built before and the src directory exists.

In summary, adding the following to check() fixes both issues:

check() {
  cd copier
  export LC_ALL=C
  rm -rf test-env
  ...
}

Crashes on tests and won't install.

The same goes for python-copier-templates-extensions.
