Build both sdist and wheel (rather than one or the other)

What's the problem this feature will solve?

I would like to have built both the sdist and wheel.

Option to build both sdist and wheel

I have been using wheel because that's what I want to put on pypi but turns out I need sdist for conda.

This is my tox setup:

legacy_tox_ini = """
[tox]
envlist = py311, lint

[gh-actions]
python =
    3: py311, lint

[testenv]
recreate = true
package = wheel
wheel_build_env = .pkg
deps =
    -r test-requirements.txt
commands =
    pytest --cov=hdx --no-cov-on-fail --junitxml=.tox/test-results.xml --cov-report=xml --cov-report=term-missing

[testenv:lint]
deps =
    flake8
    flake8-isort
    flake8-black
    flake8-pyproject
commands =
    flake8 --color=always src tests

[testenv:docs]
deps =
    pydoc-markdown
commands =
    pydoc-markdown

[testenv:publish]
pass_env = SSH_AUTH_SOCK, TWINE_USERNAME, TWINE_PASSWORD
deps =
    twine

commands =
    twine upload {work_dir}/{package_env}/dist/*

You can already do this. Create a different env for sdist; e.g.

[testenv:py311]
package = wheel

[testenv:py311-sdist]
package = sdist

Note setting the recreate = true flag is not needed anymore with tox 4.

Thanks. Adding package = sdist to [testenv:publish] worked. When I called, tox -e publish, the wheel was built by the [testenv] step while the sdist was built by the [testenv:publish] step (which then uploaded both to pypi).

It seems that although [testenv:publish] inherits from [testenv], package = sdist in [testenv:publish] does not override package = wheel in [testenv] but runs afterwards which works well for my use case.

There's no testenv step. Likely you're running another env that builds the wheel.

That is odd. I am running this in GitHub Actions. As you can see in this Github Actions workflow, I only call tox -e publish.

In the log output of GitHub Actions, you can see that it has:

ROOT: tox-gh-actions won't override envlist because envlist is explicitly given via TOXENV or -e option
...
.pkg: get_requires_for_build_wheel> python /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.11.1/x64/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyproject_api/_backend.py True setuptools.build_meta
.pkg: install_requires_for_build_wheel> python -I -m pip install wheel
.pkg: get_requires_for_build_sdist> python /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.11.1/x64/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyproject_api/_backend.py True setuptools.build_meta
...
.pkg: build_wheel> python /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.11.1/x64/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyproject_api/_backend.py True setuptools.build_meta
.pkg: build_sdist> python /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.11.1/x64/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyproject_api/_backend.py True setuptools.build_meta

Hence later it was able to upload both wheel and sdist to pypi:
