I tried to run pipenv update. It errors.

Describe your environment

OS Type: Ubuntu 17.10
Python version: Python 3.6.4
Pipenv version: pipenv, version 9.0.1

Expected result

A complete re-installation of the virtual environment.

Actual result

Got the following error instead:

pipenv update
Updating all dependencies from Pipfile…

IndexError: list index out of range

Steps to replicate

Run pipenv update with the following Pipfile:

[[source]]

url = "https://pypi.python.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
name = "pypi"


[packages]

"e1839a8" = {path = ".", editable = true}


[dev-packages]

pytest = "*"
seaworthy = "*"

Notice that the installed package is an editable package.

Lost track of this one. To answer your concerns @carsonyl pipenv install -e . and pip install -e . both call setup.py develop which installs the package as whatever it is named in the relevant setup.py, therefore you must uninstall it by that name. I would not recommend installing things with this approach if you don’t understand what it does to your environment.

As for the above error, it may be fixed in master as a side effect of #1372 when we merge it. We have a number of changes involving requirement parsing there.

Hmmm this looks interesting. The expected behavior would just be to reinstall, yes? And there is a setup.py in the local project root?

The answers are yes and yes :)

I have the same issue on Windows 10, Python 3.6.4, pipenv 9.0.3. pipenv install -e . breaks pipenv update as described, and can only be undone by pipenv uninstall [that package name].

As an aside, I was surprised that the opposite of pipenv install -e . is not pipenv uninstall ..
