Pip-tools: --process-dependency-links is not respected in in-files

[cancan101]

If I specify a dependency in the requirements.in file with --process-dependency-links, pip-compile does not respect the flag yielding:

Could not find a version that matches ...

if the dependency-links is needed.

Further --process-dependency-links does not get passed through from the in file to the txt file.

I'm not sure if I follow. Can you explain what you expect and what the actual result is?

[cancan101]

pip 8 allows specifying --process-dependency-links in the requirements file which then means that pip will use the dependency-links section in setup.py to satisfy requirements. pip-tools does not consider the dependency-links section even tho I have set --process-dependency-links in my requirements.in file.

This applies to setup.py files as well - I have dependency links in my setup.py and pip-compile is saying it can't find a package.

Any progress or alternative solution?

I'll close this since --process-dependency-links option has been removed from pip==19.0.
