AttributeError: 'CondaBuildSpec' object has no attribute 'split'

Apparently boa passes on boa.core.conda_build_spec.CondaBuildSpec instances in this list, rather than str. Downgrading conda-build to 3.27.0 can serve as a temporary work-around.

[wolfv]

is that fixed with an older conda-build release?

Yes, @dhvu mentioned that downgrading to 3.27.0 works. I was able to use this workaround successfully.

Another workaround is to use boa version 0.15.1, which pins conda-build >=3.24,<3.26.

Looking at the recent changes in conda_build/post.py, this seems to be due to conda/conda-build@decbcf9.

I've just ran into this again.
