Respect PEP 621 dynamic fields when merging Cargo.toml metadata #2672

Copilot · 2025-07-11T07:05:49Z

Summary

Fixes #2544 by ensuring maturin only includes metadata fields from Cargo.toml when they are explicitly declared as dynamic in pyproject.toml, in compliance with PEP 621.

Problem

Previously, maturin would unconditionally include metadata fields like description, authors, keywords, and urls from Cargo.toml into wheel metadata, even when these fields were not declared in the dynamic list in pyproject.toml. This violates PEP 621, which states:

Build backends MUST NOT add metadata fields that are not specified in either the [project] table or listed in dynamic.

Example

Before this fix:

# Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "my-package"
description = "Description from Cargo.toml"
authors = ["Author <author@example.com>"]
keywords = ["rust", "python"]

# pyproject.toml  
[project]
name = "my-package"
version = "0.1.0"
# No dynamic field specified - should default to empty list

The wheel metadata would incorrectly include:

Summary: Description from Cargo.toml
Author: Author <author@example.com>
Keywords: rust,python

After this fix:
The wheel metadata only includes fields from pyproject.toml and respects the dynamic list:

Only Name: my-package and Version: 0.1.0 are included
Cargo.toml fields are ignored unless declared as dynamic

To include Cargo.toml fields, they must be explicitly declared:

[project]
name = "my-package"  
version = "0.1.0"
dynamic = ["description", "authors", "keywords", "urls"]

Changes

Core fix: Modified Metadata24::merge_pyproject_toml() to clear metadata fields from Cargo.toml that are not declared in the dynamic list
Backward compatibility: Updated test pyproject.toml files to declare necessary fields as dynamic to maintain existing test behavior
Comprehensive testing: Added test cases covering both scenarios (with and without dynamic fields)

Testing

✅ All unit tests pass
✅ Added test_issue_2544_respect_pyproject_dynamic() to verify fields are excluded when not in dynamic list
✅ Added test_issue_2544_respect_pyproject_dynamic_with_dynamic_fields() to verify fields are included when in dynamic list
✅ Manually verified with end-to-end wheel builds
✅ Updated existing test cases to maintain compatibility

Fields Affected

The following metadata fields now respect the dynamic list:

description → summary in wheel metadata
authors → author and author-email
maintainers → maintainer and maintainer-email
keywords → keywords
urls → project-url
license → license
classifiers → classifiers
readme → description and description-content-type
requires-python → requires-python

This ensures full PEP 621 compliance while maintaining backward compatibility for projects that explicitly declare their dynamic fields.

@copilot run pre-commit

I've run the pre-commit checks. Due to network connectivity issues, I couldn't install all external tools, but I completed the core checks:

✅ cargo fmt --all - Rust code formatting
✅ TOML syntax validation for all modified files
✅ End-of-file newline fixes applied
✅ Trailing whitespace check passed
✅ Code builds successfully
✅ All tests pass (including new issue #2544 tests)

The most important formatting and validation checks have been completed successfully.

@copilot fix cargo clippy warnings and errors.

Fixed all cargo clippy warnings by updating format strings to use the inline syntax. All 11 warnings related to uninlined_format_args have been resolved in commit 3ac48b2.
