Update Jenkins test environment to avoid dependency hell
Created by: vloncar
Description
Jenkins tests are based on python 3.7 environment, in which we can install TF 2.11 as the latest version. When hls4ml is installed on top, onnx
dependency causes the update of protobuf
package (to 4.21) causing the environment to break and hls4ml (and tensorflow and qkeras) are unusable. We should consider updating the Python requirement to 3.8 for the next version of hls4ml to avoid this, but as an immediate band-aid solution to ensure tests run, we can install we can update just the Jenkins environment to Python 3.8.onnx==1.12
prior to hls4ml, that won't cause the update of protobuf
and the environment works.
