RootFileReader tests fail on lxplus

[AndreasAlbert]

with 8_0_20 I cannot even install the library? How exactly did you do it?

With 9_3_2 it kinda works:

• installing package from master branch successful
• running tests in master is successful
• installing package from reenable_pylint branch successful
• running tests in reenable_pylint not successful, but with another message than what you quote.

Both cmssw versions have the same python version, so that's not it.

I'm setting up CMSSW and then create a new virtualenv into which I install hepdata_lib. Let me try from scratch.

[AndreasAlbert]

Okay, I can reproduce the problem if I follow your instruction:

1. Setup CMSSW 8_0_20
2. mkvirtualenv SOMEENV -p /cvmfs/cms.cern.ch/slc6_amd64_gcc530/external/python/2.7.11-ikhhed/bin/python2.7
3. python -m pip install -e /path/to/hepdata_lib
4. python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools (This is necessary to be able to run the tests. If not, it complains that may version of setuptools is too old. Why does it not automatically update on hepdata_lib install?
5. python setup.py test

Then I get the error you see. Investigation now.

(This is using master)

I guess we should just require a recent setuptools version. I'll try this:

import sys
from distutils.version import StrictVersion
from setuptools import setup, __version__


if StrictVersion(__version__) < StrictVersion('20.2'):
    print('your setuptools version does not support PEP 508. Upgrade setuptools and repeat the installation: pip install --upgrade setuptools)
    sys.exit(1)

OK, forget the above comment, steps are:

cmsrel CMSSW_8_0_20
cd CMSSW_8_0_20/src
cmsenv
virtualenv HEPData -p `which python`
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install -e /path/to/hepdata_lib

OK, I'd say, let's forget about tests on lxplus - as long as we can run the notebooks when converted to python scripts, things should be fine.
I also tried later CMSSW version, CC7, but recurring issues related to enum etc.

Closing since we have other ways to use the library on LXPLUS such as Singularity, documented in README since #133
