package:
  name: package
  version: '0.1.0'
build:
  noarch: python
  number: 0

requirements:
  host:
    - if: new_pydantic
      then:
        - pydantic >=2
      else:
        - pydantic >=1,<2

new_pydantic:
  - true
  - false

if: new_pydantic == 'true' fixes the issue.

if: new_pydantic still evaluates to true even if the value is false.

IMO rattler-build should either throw an error here since new_pydantic is only a string and implicit casting to bool can cause issues (like in this example) or properly cast it to boolean.

Please also add tests for this behavior 🙏🏻

Side note: in skip: it is evaluated as boolean correctly...

what should be allowed?

Strings and bools? It's not yet specified properly, I guess. I don't think we want floats. I am not sure about integers.

conda-build has some wicked magic to turn floats into version strings, but I also think we don't want that (it's lossy and not accurate, too).

I think strings and bools (true and false, not True and False like in conda-build) would be nice. Shouldn't proper yaml parsing take care of all types?

A couple of months ago I created #232. Should we just let the user decide of the type they want? Floats are more special since YAML doesn't like to have 3.10 for example. Or at least with PyYAML 3.10 resolves to 3.1. So I guess floats could accept both string and float?

wolfv · 2024-04-15T16:46:06Z

For a float 3.10 == 3.1, so I don't think any other YAML parser would handle that differently. I still think it's more correct to parse versions as strings instead of inventing a new (non-YAML) format that treats floats as versions / strings. That also means that anyone who tries to parse variant config files with a YAML parser has to implement that special behavior.

So I would argue that we should either only allow strings or allow strings and bools and either nothing else or integers.

pavelzw · 2024-04-15T22:19:39Z

I would be in favor of strings and bools. But shouldn't this kind of decision be done in a CEP?
