Fix for #676

[tdstein]

Hi @tuxmaster5000, thanks for the pull request.

Can you say a bit more about what scenario you are fixing with this change? I do not see any errors in my local environment when running...

uv run --with rsconnect-python==1.26.0 python -m rsconnect.subprocesses.inspect_environment

When I try to build it as an rpm package. It looks like Fedora 41 is using an modern version of setuptools, because on the EOL version 40 it was not happens. As I understand the documentation of setuptools, when using this option, than all modules must listed by hand. Or don't use this option.

Thanks for catching this!

It would probably make sense to switch to a tool.setuptools.packages.find directive so that packages don't have to be manually listed and it's a bit more future-proof.

Also, I suggest in the PR we change https://github.com/posit-dev/rsconnect-python/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml#L40 to install in non-editable mode (actually make a dist and then install the dist) so that we can confirm that the changes do actually fix the issue before committing them and that problems like this can be caught in the future.

I have played with find, but this will require an complete reorganisation of the directory structure.
See: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/package_discovery.html#finding-simple-packages
The source code must be placed in an sub folder. But I don't know what then happens with the tests and the rest.

[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
where = [ "rsconnect" ]
will fails.

[tool.setuptools.packages.find]

namespaces = false

should be what we want. If where is not specified, it defaults to . out of which we only want to include the rsconnect directory.

I have try it, but this will break the build process. But I don't know why:

Ah! when you say "build process" you mean the rpm build process, not the python distribution build process.

Building the wheel works as expected with find:

% python -m build
...
adding 'rsconnect/__init__.py'
adding 'rsconnect/actions.py'
adding 'rsconnect/actions_content.py'
...
adding 'rsconnect/subprocesses/__init__.py'
adding 'rsconnect/subprocesses/inspect_environment.py'
...
adding 'rsconnect_python-1.26.1.dev1+g1108457.d20250605.dist-info/METADATA'
adding 'rsconnect_python-1.26.1.dev1+g1108457.d20250605.dist-info/RECORD'

rsconnect and rsconnect.subprocess are both included in the wheel.

I haven't been building RPMs in years, but that sounds like a bug in pyproject_save_files.py and it's out of the scope of rsconnect-python to address it.
If pyproject_save_files.py behaves differently than the official PyPa packages like build I think it probably needs to be aligned.

I have try it, but this will break the build process. But I don't know why:

+ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/pyproject_save_files.py --output-files /builddir/build/BUILD/python-rsconnect-1.26.0-build/python-rsconnect-1.26.0-2.fc41.x86_64-pyproject-files --output-modules /builddir/build/BUILD/python-rsconnect-1.26.0-build/python-rsconnect-1.26.0-2.fc41.x86_64-pyproject-modules --buildroot /builddir/build/BUILD/python-rsconnect-1.26.0-build/BUILDROOT --sitelib /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages --sitearch /usr/lib64/python3.13/site-packages --python-version 3.13 --pyproject-record /builddir/build/BUILD/python-rsconnect-1.26.0-build/python-rsconnect-1.26.0-2.fc41.x86_64-pyproject-record --prefix /usr rsconnect

I tried to verify things with this test script: https://gist.github.com/amol-/b1ce860fb645a731a8ff4588895041e5

It seems in both cases with

[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
include = ["rsconnect"]
namespaces = false

or

[tool.setuptools]
packages = [
   "rsconnect",
   "rsconnect.subprocesses"
]

it works as expected, because pyproject_preprocess_record.py parses the wheel .dist-info and thus finds all modules that the wheel did include.

The output of the script for me is

RESULT
rsconnect
rsconnect.actions
...
rsconnect.subprocesses
rsconnect.subprocesses.inspect_environment
...
rsconnect.version
