1887037 - mozregression seems to assume maturin is installed and in $PATH when uniffi-bindgen is installed even though that isn't necessarily the case

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Testing :: mozregression, defect)

Description

[Ellie]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Steps to reproduce:

I ran pip3 install --break-system-packages mozregression.

Actual results:

$ pip3 install --break-system-packages mozregression
...
     💥 maturin failed
        Caused by: Failed to run uniffi-bindgen, did you install it? Try `pip install uniffi-bindgen`

      Error: command ['maturin', 'pep517', 'build-wheel', '-i', '/usr/bin/python3', '--compatibility', 'off'] returned non-zero exit status 1
      [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

It looks like maturin wasn't even installed even though it seems to be needed;

Expected results:

Installing mozregression works without manully installing maturin and uniffi-bindgen . If it is needed then it should be a dependency.

It seems like even when I install maturin it doesn't work:

$

So it seems like both maturin isn't installed when needed, and even when installed it's apparently not called correctly when needed. Isn't it possible to call python programs via some python3 -m maturin or similarly which doesn't depend on the $PATH? I thought that was possible, so that's probably what it should be doing.
