It probably has to do with the release of sphinxcontrib.applehelp 1.0.3 (https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib.applehelp/1.0.3/#history). Manually installing sphinxcontrib.applehelp==1.0.2 before the other dependencies seems to fix the issue.

[peteror]

Definitely. And if you build a Docker container from it, for some reason I could not install it using the same requirements.txt file (was still failing, even if sphinxcontrib.applehelp==1.0.2 was the first item).
So I ended up creating a new requirements file, install that first using dockerfile, then installing my regular requirements.txt...

[syphar]

we were running into the same issue today.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why is sphinx in setup_requires? (or pytest-runner, for that matter)

[syphar]

I created a PR for moving the requirements : #76

IMO this should be backported too.

[syphar]

btw, it seems to me that the installation issue only happens when we try to install sphinxcontrib.applehelp via setup_requires, and not as a normal dependency

[nvnkmr18]

For Docker, this one works

RUN pip install sphinxcontrib-applehelp && pip install -r requirements.txt && pip install measurement

[awaisdar001]

Can't we just fix it in the repo such #76? There can be many quick hacks, but it would be appreciated if this is addressed once and for all.

[aveao]

Are there any plans to make a release with this fix included soon?

[amotl]

Plans about releases are discussed at GH-64 ¹.
