Pipx: "No apps associated with package" with pyproject.toml

[Crocmagnon]

Describe the bug
Installation a project built with poetry (only pyproject.toml, no setup.py) fails, complaining that the package has "no app".

How to reproduce

pipx install --verbose cleantoots

No apps associated with package cleantoots. Try again with '--include-deps' to include apps of dependent packages, which are listed above. If you are attempting to install a library, pipx should not be used. Consider using pip or a similar tool instead.

Expected behavior
The package should install fine and provide the cleantoots command.
pip install cleantoots works as expected.

The code for cleantoots is available on GitHub: Crocmagnon/cleantoots.

I can get this to work with my pre-release version of pipx.

Using the pypi package:

carvel:test pipx install cleantoots --python /Users/mclapp/.pyenv/versions/3.8.0/bin/python3.8
  installed package cleantoots 0.1.6, Python 3.8.0
  These apps are now globally available
    - cleantoots
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨
carvel:test 

using the git+URL:

carvel:test pipx install git+https://github.com/Crocmagnon/cleantoots.git --python /Users/mclapp/.pyenv/versions/3.8.0/bin/python3.8
  installed package cleantoots 0.1.6, Python 3.8.0
  These apps are now globally available
    - cleantoots
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨
carvel:test 

I had to specify the python version because somehow pipx was picking up the wrong python version, not my local pyenv one (a separate issue I think.)

It looks like @Crocmagnon is actually getting python3.8 judging from his verbose logs.

Can somebody test this with the released version of pipx? I'm having trouble getting my setup back to release version.

Ah @Crocmagnon , I just noticed, you are picking up cleantoots v0.1.0

Requirement already satisfied: cleantoots in /Users/gaugendre/Projects/python/cleantoots (0.1.0)

whereas I am getting cleantoots v 0.1.6

Are you accidentally sourcing from a local directory possibly? Or somehow pip is picking up an old cached version somehow?

[Crocmagnon]

You're right, I didn't catch that! Re-running it now downloads the latest version and works fine. Thanks for your help 😃
