package lacks `__version__`, results installed as version 0.0.0

Hi,

After commit b7601dd0d208602d07a80d9c6ab154f715d8f700, the metadata in setup.cfg lacks the version number resulting in pygls being installed (in Archlinux) as version 0.0.0 when checked with:

from importlib.metadata import version
print(version('pygls'))

or the corresponding method with pkg_resources. This causes conflicts with other packages requiring some pygls versions (e.g. anakin-language-server).

Ohh, this is weird.

I reproduced the steps used on the PKGBUILD to build the package in Archlinux and now I magically have the right version.

So to conclude: using any installation method (pip or setup.py, local or global, with or without your suggestions) it works. It has to be something to do with the packaging process. I’ll open an issue there

Not quite. setuptools_scm doesn’t support configuration in setup.cfg

Sorry, by “the setuptools_scm stuff” I was referring to “the requirements list” in build-system.requires.
