missing conda installation requirement

[esheldon]

I followed conda instructions here: https://lsstdesc.org/imSim/install.html

It uses the requirements file etc/standalone_conda_requirements.txt

The code crashes due to missing yamlinclude, which means the requirements file needs pyyaml-include

I believe this is something that is new in skyCatalog and underdevelopment (not actually imSim). We should update the installation to instruct everyone to use a released skyCatalog version (and eventually when we understand all new requirements update that too including in cvmfs)

Erin, try, putting skyCatalog at

v1.6.0rc2

[esheldon]

Yes using that version works

Closing this issue.

I think we might need to reopen this. There is a critical bug fix going in for skyCatalogs so we will want to go beyond v1.6.0rc2 and use the newest bug fix. Would you be open to adding pyyaml-include to the requirements now?

LSSTDESC/skyCatalogs#102

[jchiang87]

The most recent tag of skyCatalogs, v1.7.0rc4, removes the need for pyyaml-include. The current ci.yaml uses that version now.
