Breaks with latest conda-build >= 24.1.0

[paul-sud]

Hi there,

It looks like the latest version of conda-build (24.1.0) no longer works with this package. The last known working version is 3.28.3. The reason is described in conda/conda-build#5167 - invoking conda-build results in a non-zero return code, which raises an error when called here:

setuptools-conda/setuptools_conda/setuptools_conda.py

Line 706 in cdcc241

['conda-build', '--no-test', self.recipe_dir, '--croot', self.croot]

. Thus, the packages are never copied to conda_packages.

I fixed this by pinning conda-build on my end but a better fix would be to update to conda build as conda-build is being deprecated.

Thanks for letting me know. Looks like this specific problem may be fixed: conda/conda-build#5169

But I'll take a look at conda build when I get the time, since I've been a bit unhappy with what happens when you install conda-buid into the non-base environment (conda/conda-build#3813 - don't know for sure if this is still an issue but I don't know of it being fixed). Perhaps the switch to a subcommand of conda (normally only installed to the base environment) is addressing that.

Yes that does look like the fix for the conda-build exit status, thanks for linking! Feel free to close this issue if you plan on addressing the conda build upgrade elsewhere.
