Conda build issue on windows?

[karenlmasters]

When we get to the line conda install -c file://${CONDA_PREFIX}/conda-bld/ srt-py trying to do this on Windows, we hit the following error:

UnavailableInvalidChannel: HTTP 404 UNAVAILABLE OR INVALID for channel klmasters/conda-bld <file://users/klmasters/conda-bld>

The channel is not accessible or is invalid.

You will need to adjust your conda configuration to proceed.
Use `conda config --show channels` to view your configuration's current state,
and use `conda config --show-sources` to view config file locations.

As of conda 4.3, a valid channel must contain a `noarch/repodata.json` and
associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2` file, even if `noarch/repodata.json` is
empty. Use `conda index users/klmasters/conda-bld`, or create `noarch/repodata.json`
and associated `noarch/repodata.json.bz2`.

We already tried >conda index users/klmasters/conda-bld to try to make the noarch/repodata.json but still get the same error.

Any advice?

Following Alex Kurek advice from here: #19 got a bit further:

# conda update -y --all
conda install -y conda-build conda-verify
git clone -b update-conda-recipe https://github.com/ryanvolz/srt-py # https://github.com/MITHaystack/srt-py/issues/19#issuecomment-1930609080
conda build -c conda-forge srt-py # --no-test
conda create -y -n srtpy
conda activate srtpy
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install -y --use-local srt-py

but still returns errors trying
srt_runner.py --config_dir=PATH_TO_CONFIG_DIR

and same error with

conda develop .
python bin/srt_runner.py --config_dir=PATH_TO_CONFIG_DIR

It's a long python error, bottom line is
TypeError: Input "table" must be a file-like object, a string (filename or data), or an iterable

Could you paste in the rest of the error? It will help debug it.

By the way we decided to give up and use a linux machine instead. Not actually running on that yet either, but I am sure we will get there.
