Research direction

Start with the failing CircleCI Python 3.6 job and inspect tests/requirements.txt, focusing on the pytest-cookies, pytest, cryptography, and pip versions shown in the log. Re-run the Python 3.6 test job after investigating the dependency conflict; done means the job completes successfully without the reported installation failure.

Description

Seems like it's currently failing:

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r tests/requirements.txt --quiet

pytest-cookies 0.5.1 has requirement pytest<6.0.0,>=3.3.0, but you'll have pytest 6.2.2 which is incompatible.
Command "/home/circleci/project/venv/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-install-7nfc7x4u/cryptography/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-record-fhb8jvs6/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /home/circleci/project/venv/include/site/python3.6/cryptography" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-7nfc7x4u/cryptography/
You are using pip version 18.1, however version 21.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
