Test workflows fail on macos-latest due to missing tables wheels #2055
Description
The basic-tests.yml workflow is currently failing on macos-latest because:
- GitHub-hosted runners for macos-latest now run on Apple Silicon
- No PyTables release supports Apple Silicon yet - see Support for Apple's arm64 architecture (osx-arm64) PyTables/PyTables#832. (Though support apparently does exist in main.)
In the short term, we should probably just downgrade the workflows to macos-13 while we get CI running again.
Longer term, we can either
- wait for a PyTables release, or
- skip installing pytables (and presumably also h5py) for the macOS test runs
