Pixi list and pypi package sizes

[cheshirex]

I'm making use of pixi list -e envname output to help trigger CI builds for modified environments (#1898 (comment)). We're seeing that one particular user is getting different output from the others -- specifically, the pixi list output is including pypi package sizes for him and not for others. What can cause that output difference? I haven't been able to find this specifically described, and don't see any obvious environment differences.

We're using 0.70.2.

Thanks!

Hi, with the latest version it should always see the sizes, is there a difference in the pixi info output between these users?

Yes, there is. When I run it, I get (just picking a representative subset of the output, and filtering our internal repo address):

pixi list --locked -e generic | grep pypi       
Environment: generic                                                                                                                                                                                                                
boto3_stubs                           1.43.10                                             pypi   https://artifactory.<...>.com/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi/simple                                                             
botocore_stubs                        1.42.41                                             pypi   https://artifactory.<...>.com/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi/simple 

When my colleague runs it, for the same git repository at the same level and with no changes, he gets:

grep pypi /homes/michaelkoh/generic.list
boto3_stubs                           1.43.10                                 733.34 KiB  pypi   https://artifactory.<...>.com/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi/simple
botocore_stubs                        1.42.41                                 203.01 KiB  pypi   https://artifactory.<...>.com/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi/simple

Obviously I figure there has to be some sort of environmental difference that's causing this, but I can't figure out what...

Thanks!

It turns out there a differences in mounted filesystems, and that seems to be causing the issue here. At any rate, on deeper inspection of the docs, my colleague spotted that the list command allows customizing the returned fields, and since the size isn't really important for what we're doing, we'll filter that out.

Thanks!
