Issue

"subdirectory" seems to be ignored (at least in this specific case). I've verified that it builds on 1.3.2, but fails with 1.4.0.

Expected behaviour: It should enter the subdirectory pyd4 under src/d4-format

[simon-sk]

I am experiencing the same issue with poetry 1.4.0 and get the following error message:

  ChefBuildError

  Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke get_requires_for_build_wheel
  
  error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['module1', 'module2', 'module3'].

My repository has the following structure:

- module1
  - pyproject.toml
  - module1
     - __init__.py
     - ...
- module2
  - pyproject.toml
  - module2
     - __init__.py
     - ...
- ...

@oyvinev I'm seeing the same issue, able to work around it by setting experimental.new-installer to false. You can do this for just the project in question by running

poetry config --local experimental.new-installer false

in the project directory (or edit the poetry.toml file directly). If you want to do it globally just omit the --local flag.

[nrser]

@simon-sk not sure if your issue is the same thing but you could try that setting and see if it works?

I am also seeing this with v1.4.0, Python 3.10.6, Ubuntu 22.04.2:

pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry.dependencies.git-dependency-2]
git = "git@<git-repo-2>"
rev = "<git-ref>"
subdirectory = "path/to/project"

[tool.poetry.scripts]

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core"]

The issue occurs with git-dependency-2 which is contained in a subdirectory of its repo. On poetry install:

In the above the path /home/harry/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/validation-study-z_l8ILkD-py3.10/src/git-repo-2 is the path of the top-level repo, not the subdirectory which contains the pyproject.toml.

Setting

poetry config --local experimental.new-installer false

Works as a temporary solution.

[radoering]

I don't recommend setting experimental.new-installer to false. (The name is misleading.) It should be sufficient to set installer.modern-installation to false.

A possible fix is mentioned in #755 (comment). A PR with a fix and a test is welcome.

[nrser]

It should be sufficient to set installer.modern-installation to false

I tried that first but it didn't work. In my case it's a git dependency, which seems like it makes a difference from looking at the source.

Check it out:

$ poetry config --list
cache-dir = "/Users/nrser/Library/Caches/pypoetry"
experimental.new-installer = true
experimental.system-git-client = false
installer.max-workers = null
installer.modern-installation = false
installer.no-binary = null

Yes I also found installer.modern-installation didn't work. My PR above fixes the issue for me with default settings on v1.4.0 - perhaps you could test that too?
