The GitHub Actions can not detect this problem, it is green now. I believe we need to improve the CI script to catch this kind of problems.

I can only reproduce this issue on my local Ubuntu box.

This issue can not reproduce on GitHub Actions & fresh cloud Linux server.

This means that:

1. This issue is related to the local PyPI module cache
2. Our Python Wechaty did not upgrade the dependencies when it should.

To be investigated. @wechaty/python

There has a great tool named pipdeptree (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45561645/1123955)

After we installed the latest wechaty by running pip3 install wechaty, we can see the chatie-grpc module version is out of dated.

$ pipdeptree

Wechaty

• latest wechaty version: 0.6.14
• installed wechaty version: 0.6.14 (CORRECT)

chatie-grpc

• latest chatie-grpc version: 0.18.12
• installed chatie-grpc version: 0.15.dev6 (WRONG)

Possible reason

The chatie-grpc module has not specified an explicit version requirement in setup.py: - chatie-grpc [required: Any, installed: 0.15.dev6], which causes that when the Wechaty model is upgrading, the chatie-grpc module keep using the old one.

We have outdated requirements for Wechaty:

$ pip3 show wechaty
Name: wechaty
Version: 0.6.14
Summary: Wechaty is a Conversational AI Chatbot SDK for WeChat Personal Account
Home-page: https://github.com/wechaty/python-wechaty
Author: Huan LI (李卓桓)
Author-email: zixia@zixia.net
License: Apache-2.0
Location: /home/huan/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages
Requires: qrcode, pyee, wechaty-puppet, lxml, wechaty-puppet-hostie, requests
Required-by: 

Requires: qrcode, pyee, wechaty-puppet, lxml, wechaty-puppet-hostie, requests

We should remove wechaty-puppet-hostie, add wechaty-puppet-service, and add a version range for all requirements.

Now we have a super clean requirements.txt depdence!
