Crash Building error when trying to create ast representation with Python 3.12 GitHub Action

[ortk95]

When parsing the following file: https://github.com/ortk95/planetmapper/blob/main/planetmapper/body.py

pylint crashed with a AstroidBuildingError and with the following stacktrace:

This error occurred when running a Pylint GitHub Action using Python 3.12. Pylint runs fine for Python 3.10 and 3.11, so this seems to be related to Python 3.12 specifically. The failed GitHub job can be found at https://github.com/ortk95/planetmapper/actions/runs/6381653329/job/17318563096

It seems you're using pylint-2.17.7, you need 3.0.0b0 until 3.0.0 is released. Could you confirm it's working for python 3.12 on your side ? (Your conf might need some tweak if you use compare-to-zero or compare-to-empty-string, but the migration should be painless)

[jacobtylerwalls]

3.0.0 was just released, so you could also try that. 👍

Thanks for your help! I've just re-run the job and everything's now working as expected!
