quarto-cli python package fails install on windows

[pchtsp]

Bug description

quarto-cli fails to install in Window 11. After about a minute of building the wheel, it reports several warnings and an error.
In Ubuntu it installs correctly.

Steps to reproduce

with python 3.12 in Windows 11.

python -m pip install quarto-cli

Alternatively I also tried using uv:

uv pip install quarto-cli

Actual behavior

The command line shows the following error:

      error: could not create 'build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\.\quarto_cli\share\deno_std\cache\deps\https\cdn.skypack.dev\010ab5a2e2b8bd9419eceeb3654e9d2f1412afd9065e89a8d3d03c58f29970dd.metadata.json': No such file or directory

I attach the log that was available through the command line:

quarto_cli_install_error.log

Expected behavior

quarto is installed and can be used.

Your environment

Edition Windows 11 Home
Version 24H2
OS build 26100.3476

Quarto check output

no quarto was installed

It seems similar to this discussion: #11380

[pchtsp]

probably not relevant, but I have an old quarto installation in my machine (with the msi installer, quarto-1.5.54-win.msi).

The reason I ran into this issue is I'm testing the windows deployment of a python package that ships with quarto inside (through quarto-cli).

This is what I tried

$ cd $env:TEMP
$ mkdir test-install
$ cd test-install\
$ uv venv -p 3.13.1
$ uv pip install quarto-cli

and I could reproduce

      error: could not create
      'build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\.\quarto_cli\share\deno_std\cache\deps\https\cdn.skypack.dev\010ab5a2e2b8bd9419eceeb3654e9d2f1412afd9065e89a8d3d03c58f29970dd.metadata.json':
      No such file or directory

So it seems there is indeed a problem... 🤔

So I tried

uv pip install "git+https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli@v1.6.42"

It does not work either same problem

      error: could not create
      'build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\.\quarto_cli\quarto-1.6.42\share\deno_std\cache\deps\https\cdn.skypack.dev\010ab5a2e2b8bd9419eceeb3654e9d2f1412afd9065e89a8d3d03c58f29970dd.metadata.json':
      No such file or directory

The repo with the quarto-cli bundle is there: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli-pypi

I am not python package expert, but I'll try to debug this... Thanks for reporting !

@cscheid if you have any idea about the error which is about a deno std deps, this would probably help 😄

By the way No problem to build on Linux - this is a Windows only problem.

Hi @cderv! I gave this a try with uv pip install on Windows 11, which fetched 1.7.34.

After a buffer-defeating spew of warnings I got the error

   error: could not create
      'build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\.\quarto_cli\bin\bin\vendor\deno-land\x\puppeteer@9-0-2\vendor\puppeteer-core\vendor\devtools-protocol\types\protocol-mapping.d.ts':

Similar to the others reported, also deno dependency.

After a few tries I started getting

     error: Destination path 'quarto_cli\bin\bin' already exists

This happens even after deleting the venv and starting over.

I do not find any quarto_cli on my disk (except for the one in our source tree, which does not have bin\bin).

I can get past this error by installing quarto-cli===1.7.33 whereupon I see the puppeteer error. However, I don't think this is doing what I would expect, because I continue to see the puppeteer error for 1.6.42 and for 1.5.54.

Anyway, happy to look at with you next week!
