_pickle.PicklingError in test_serialization: Can't pickle <class 'cmdstanpy.stanfit.gq.CmdStanGQ'>

[SermetPekin]

I encountered a _pickle.PicklingError when running the test suite for cmdstanpy. The error occurs in the test_serialization test within test/test_generate_quantities.py. The error message indicates that Python cannot pickle the <class 'cmdstanpy.stanfit.gq.CmdStanGQ'> object because it is "not the same object" as cmdstanpy.stanfit.gq.CmdStanGQ.

This issue may be caused by module import mismatches or problems with the environment setup.

error message

FAILED test/test_generate_quantities.py::test_serialization - _pickle.PicklingError: 
Can't pickle <class 'cmdstanpy.stanfit.gq.CmdStanGQ'>: 
it's not the same object as cmdstanpy.stanfit.gq.CmdStanGQ

I use uv to build the environment,
other tests are passing.

Python 3.10.9

This is the only test that is failing.

This issue may be caused by module import mismatches or problems with the environment setup.

In my experience it is usually an environment issue. I think installing from a path but not editable can lead to this?
