Pipenv: TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

[sunbearc22]

Issue description

For pipenv version 2018.11.14, the creation of Pipfile is constantly returning TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable. I got this error when I issued commands pipenv install -e . or pipenv --python 3.6.7 or pipenv install numpy. For the latter, the creation of the Virtualenv location was completed. What should I do next?

Expected result

Successful creation of Pipefile and Pipfile.lock and the installation of required package in virtual environment.

Actual result

$ pipenv --version
pipenv, version 2018.11.14
$cd ~/git/mypkg
$ pipenv install -e .

Hey @sunbearc22,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #3264 - Fix pipfile creation with unnamed project
• #3263 - fix for #2747 (needs refinement)
• #3262 - installed version bigger than fixed one when using editable dependency

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job :smile:

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers,
Your Friendly Neighborhood ProBot

[techalchemy]

Wow that bot is completely useless... Relevant issue: #3224 -- fixed in #3225 and #3254 (this is fixed on master and will be released today)

See #3224 for workarounds in the meantime, sorry for the trouble!

[sunbearc22]

@techalchemy I believe the fixed master has not been released yet. I have just tried uninstalling and reinstalling pipenv, and pipenv is still giving the same error msg. May I know when the fix will surely be release? Cheers.

Edit:
My apologies. I realized that the fix that you had referred to was not for pipenv in PyPI but for github. I have successfully installed the fixed pipenv using the command below. Thanks.

pip3 install --prefix ~/.local -e git+https://github.com/pypa/pipenv.git#egg=pipenv

[techalchemy]

No worries, the actual fix will be released shortly (in the process of a few more fixes before we can release) -- sorry again for the trouble, I know a lot of folks are relying on pipenv for day to day processes

[gkapfham]

Hello @techalchemy! Thanks for your work on this tool! I am running pipenv in Travis CI and I am still getting the error TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable when I attempt to use pipenv to, for instance, install dependencies and the run a test suite with pytest. Has this issue now been fixed? Currently, my Travis configuration file uses pipenv install --dev --three and this always crashes with the error in this issue. Is there something else that I now need to do in order to correctly run pipenv? As your schedule permits, any feedback that you can provide is greatly appreciated!

[DennisMeek]

Do you happen to know if a fix will be available through homebrew in the near future, or can I try and rollback to 2018.10.13 with homebrew?

I'm new to Python and my entire workflow goes through pipenv.

[techalchemy]

Release is up on pypi. No idea about homebrew :(

[inkatze]

Today's release did it for me. Thanks!
