WF Testing: `setuptools`' `load_setup_py_data()` returns `None` when no git tag

[ilaflott]

concerning the following code in meta.yaml:

fre-cli/meta.yaml

Lines 1 to 5 in 9bce71f

	{% set data = load_setup_py_data() %}
	package:
	name: fre-cli
	version: '{{ environ.get("GIT_DESCRIBE_TAG", data.get("version")) }}'

in .github/workflows/conda_build.yaml (and publish_conda.yaml), during conda build ., data.get('version') will return None when there's no GIT_DESCRIBE_TAG. I.e., when the workflow runs as a result of e.g., a merge into the main branch. This is likely related to migrating from setup.py to pyproject.toml recently.

to help test #588, copilot should use the following as a .github/copilot-instructions.md before properly trying to understand the issue
THIS DIDNT WORK AT ALL, adding the file to the branch at the attached PR instead...
