Getting

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/bin/virtualenv'

in some of my Tests. https://github.com/MeltanoLabs/target-postgres/actions/runs/4046145129/jobs/6958562915 Smells like a

meltano version

thing from looking at the latest release notes. I'm going to add version pinning for Meltano in

target-postgres

to address the failure happening without a change to the source code on my side but still curious

We recently did https://github.com/meltano/meltano/pull/7198

Hmm .. I feel like I have some involvement in that. (At least I was the one pointing out that the

virtualenv

dependency was no longer present in the

meltano

package metadata) Having

virtualenv

back in the dependencies is certainly a good thing @edgar_ramirez_mondragon: What was the intent behind the change from

-m venv

to using the wrapper script (

virtualenv

)?

-m venv

seems more robust to me at first glance.

@christoph

venv

has a subset of the features of

virtualenv

and is not distributed by default in all systems (think

python3-venv

). And yeah,

-m virtualenv

is more reliable than what I ended up replacing

-m venv

with, but that’ll be patched tomorrow if we get the release out

Ah! Now I see. I didn't realise the difference between the built-in

venv

in the standard library and the

virtualanv

package from PyPA. Learnt something today. 😁
