Poetry 1.2.0 doesn't seem to like shortened git commit hashes (original) (raw)

Issue

I'm the first person on my team using poetry 1.2.0, and noticed that one of our existing dependencies stopped working (I've verified that it works fine under 1.1.15). The gist above is a minimal example that demonstrates the problem - trying to run poetry lock returns Failed to clone https://github.com/ryan112358/private-pgm.git at 'e9ea5fc', verify ref exists on remote., but that commit definitely exists. Replacing the shortened version of the commit hash (e9ea5fc) with the full commit hash (e9ea5fcac62e2c5b92ae97f7afe2648c04432564) fixes the problem, so there is a workaround, but this does seem like a regression.

Note that debugging this problem was rather difficult because once the first failure has occurred, poetry doesn't attempt to re-download the dependency. Running poetry lock a second time will yield a different error:

Unable to determine package info for path: /Users/dasm/test/.venv/src/private-pgm

No fallback setup.py file was found to generate egg_info.

If instead you switch to the full commit hash after a failure with the short hash, poetry lock fails silently (there is error output when running with -vvv) rather than downloading the right dependency. Only if you remove the mostly empty directory (it contains a single .git file) at .venv/src/private-pgm does it start working properly.
