Error when running infinit

[hhlim12]

Dear developers,

I encountered an error when trying infinit for infinit_nh3_inversion in infentory.

See below the error.
I used python 3.12 to install inftools and infretis with the following version.

infretis                  2025.4                   pypi_0    pypi
inftools                  0.1.0                    pypi_0    pypi

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you in advance.

I think this is related to something else than inftools, I’ve had similar issues. What command and flags did you run?

[hhlim12]

Sorry I missed the command.
Here it is:
inft infinit -toml infretis0.toml

Everything is exactly the same as in infentory of CH3 inversion.

[lukasbaldauf]

Can you try to just run inft -h? Do you get the same error?

[hhlim12]

yes, the same error..

Just typing inft also gives the same error.
infretisrun -h gives no error.

[lukasbaldauf]

I’ve had similar issues, it’s related to typer, or click. Does updating these two packages work?

[hhlim12]

I have pip-install again the inftools and infretis package. But I still get the same error..
I git clone both of the package to ensure the latest version.
Or is it due to the python version? I'm now trying with older Python..

[lukasbaldauf]

Maybe yes.

You could also try, in a fresh environment, to uncomment the typer version requirement in inftools/pyproject.toml, and then install inftools.

[hhlim12]

Oh, the typer and click are the name of the packages. Sorry I misunderstood. Let me update those two packages.

[hhlim12]

Hi,

After downgrading click to 8.2.0 I can run the inft infinit -toml infretis0.toml command.
Previously my click is 8.3.0.
Some hints also mentioned here.
https://github.com/fastapi/typer/discussions/861#discussioncomment-1423462.

But for some reasons inft -h gives weird error, though something is printed.

(infretis) [k073900@ohtaka1 infinit_nh3_inversion]$ inft -h

 Usage: inft [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

 inftools CLI

TypeError: Parameter.make_metavar() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

Okay thanks for digging into this.

The last error message is the one I got previously, with the ctx error in rich_utils.py:37. I just gave the missing input argument a value of 0 as input on line 37 in rich_utils.py, and this solved it for me.

I see..Thanks a lot for helping!. I will proceed with the infinit..

It appears that downgrading Click to 8.2.0 results in the second error, but downgrading it even further to 8.1.8 also resolves the second issue.

@dz24 Maybe we can have a requirement of click <= 8.1.8 in the pyproject.toml?

[dz24]

I had click==8.1.7, and when I updated to click==8.3, indeed i get the same error..

But that was with typer==0.12.3. Updating to latert typer version typer==0.19.2 while still having click==8.3 seems to fix the issues for me. If this works for you as well, maybe it is better to enforce a minimum version. i can try to update the requirement soon
