fixes #1453

Pull-through links (<file>?redirect=<upstream URL>) no longer announce PEP 658
metadata. pip asks for announced metadata by appending .metadata to the whole URL,
so the path still names the package, and once the package is in the repository the
content handler serves the package by that path in place of the metadata.

  • pull_through_package_simple() sets metadata_sha256 to None, so neither the HTML
    nor the JSON simple page announces metadata for these links. Packages already in the
    repository are listed with their local links and their metadata, as before.
  • The metadata is still served through a pull-through link when asked for, so a client
    holding an older page keeps working.
  • The ETag of the simple pages includes a revision string, so a client revalidating a page
    cached before the upgrade gets the new page instead of a 304 that keeps the old links.

Tests. test_pull_through_metadata and test_pull_through_metadata_with_repo
asserted that pull-through links announce metadata; they now assert the opposite and
compare the served metadata with the digest from the upstream index instead of the
announced one. The rest of each test is unchanged, including the check that the local
link announces and serves the metadata once the package is cached. Both fail without
the change and pass with it; the unit tests and test_full_mirror.py pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed package installation failures when retrieving metadata through pull-through links. Metadata is no longer advertised before the package is stored locally; once available, the metadata link serves content that matches its published digest.

Walkthrough

Pull-through package links no longer announce PEP 658 metadata. Functional tests check metadata requests before and after package caching, including metadata digest and content validation.

A cached index page can cause a pip metadata hash failure after a package is cached. Refreshing the page and retrying should recover.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Announce no metadata on pull-through links" matches the main change: pull-through links no longer announce PEP 658 metadata (metadata_sha256 set to None in pull_through_package_simple). It is specific and clear, and a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change. The wording is slightly awkward ("Announce no metadata" could be read as the opposite of the intent, which is to stop announcing metadata), but the meaning is still conveyed.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1453 requires pull-through links to announce no PEP 658 metadata when the derived metadata URL can return the cached package, while cached local links continue to announce metadata. SimpleView.pull_through_package_simple() now sets metadata_sha256 to None. The updated functional tests verify no announcement, metadata serving through both URL forms, repository storage, and metadata announcement after caching. The changelog records the fix.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #1453. The implementation removes metadata announcements only from pull-through links. The test changes verify the required pull-through and cached-package behavior. The changelog documents the same fix. No unrelated change is shown in the reviewed diff.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's intent and explains the change: pull-through links stop announcing PEP 658 metadata, with the reason (pip appends .metadata to the package path), the code change to metadata_sha256 in pull_through_package_simple, the ETag revision handling, and test changes. It does not tick the checklist items, and it does not show a changelog entry, the AI policy check, or commit squashing. The changelog entry CHANGES/1453.bugfix is present in the diff summary, so that item is covered. The description is mostly complete, so this check passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 75.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Invalidate validators for the changed simple page.

After upgrade, a client can revalidate an old page and receive 304 because the repository version is unchanged. The client then keeps a page that announces metadata. If another client caches the package before the metadata request, pip can receive the package instead of metadata and fail its hash check. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Retain and request the original pull-through link after caching.

The tests request metadata before downloading the package, then refresh the page and use the newly rendered local link. They do not retain the original redirect URL and validate that its .metadata URL still serves metadata after the package is cached. Add that sequence to cover the stated older-page compatibility behavior.

A package not yet in the repository is linked as
<file>?redirect=<upstream URL>, and the link announced its PEP 658
metadata. pip asks for that metadata by appending ".metadata" to the
whole URL, so it lands in the redirect parameter and the path still names
the package. Once another client has fetched the package, the content app
finds it by that path and answers the metadata request with the package
itself, and pip fails its hash check. The pull-through handler's
workaround for pip's URL is never reached in that case, because the path
lookup comes first.

Pull-through links no longer announce metadata; installers then read it
from the package they download. Once the package is in the repository, its
local link announces the metadata again, and that link has no query string.
The metadata is still served through a pull-through link for clients
holding an older page.

pip gets the package in place of its metadata through a pull-through link once the package is cached
