I'm trying to upload a python module to testpypi using twine but I'm getting an error message that I don't understand. I'm including everything I know to include in this post, but please tell me if something else is needed. My profile for test.pypi.org is at https://test.pypi.org/user/mikosullivan/. The project I'm trying to upload is on github at https://github.com/mikosullivan/uns-python. I included the /dist folder in the git upload.
First, I type this command and get the following results:
# python3 -m build
* Creating isolated environment: venv+pip...
* Installing packages in isolated environment:
- hatchling
* Getting build dependencies for sdist...
* Building sdist...
* Building wheel from sdist
* Creating isolated environment: venv+pip...
* Installing packages in isolated environment:
- hatchling
* Getting build dependencies for wheel...
* Building wheel...
Then I run the following command and get the following error:
# python3 -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
Uploading distributions to https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
ERROR InvalidDistribution: Metadata is missing required fields: Name, Version.
Make sure the distribution includes the files where those fields are specified, and is using a supported Metadata-Version: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 2.1,
2.2, 2.3.
Here's some info on my system:
---- Ubuntu
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
---- Python
Python 3.10.12
I don't know how to tell what Metadata-Version I'm using. I've found other support requests online for this error, but I can't make heads or tails of them. Any help is appreciated.
Make sure that you are using the latest version of pkginfo.
Do: python3 -m pip install -U pkginfo twine
Ensuring that everything is up-to-date.
