How to preserve pip install temporary directory for error analyse?

+0
−0

Here I am trying to install a pip package.

While installation, pip tries to compile something.

With meson.

Meson calls cmake.

Cmake fails on a missing dependency.

Then, meson fails on the failed cmake.

Then, pip fails on the failed meson.

Then, pip deletes the temporary directory for the compilation and exits.

On this way, I can not see the meson logs, exactly what failed.

How to break this chain? I believe, pip should not deleted anything if I specify it on this way.

python-3 pip

I have found pip --no-clean, but it still does not work. Most importantly, pip has created about 5 directories in /tmp, and the one referred in the error report is not among them. Although pip --no-clean might be an useful answer in many cases. In my specific case, now I try to hook the rmdir, unlink, unlinkat syscalls with an empty return in an LD_PRELOAD-ed shared lib.
