Installing local package with pipenv install '-e .' --dev no longer works.

[chrisphilip322]

The feature described https://docs.pipenv.org/basics.html#editable-dependencies-e-g-e was broken in this commit kennethreitz@0a48fa0

In the most recent version of pipenv (8.3.1), pipenv install '-e .' --dev fails with a TypeError from this line https://github.com/kennethreitz/pipenv/blob/v8.3.1/pipenv/utils.py#L540

Since '.' is a directory and not a regular file, it fails the check on L539 os.path.isfile(req.path) and the Requirements object name is None when parsing this type of requirement which causes the exception to be raised.

Installing pipenv==8.2.7 resolved this issue for me.

@grets @ipmb thanks for the report. We are aware of this issue and have a fix coming. I'm going to go ahead and close this as a duplicate of #960 #939 #949 #914 #817 with a fix pending in #958:

ah, just ran into this as well

[AlJohri]

quick workaround - add "cjSj384E" = {path = ".", editable = true} to your Pipfile manually where cjSj384E is the hash of path to the current directory. you can get this hash from checking the currently virtualenv name pipenv --venv

[techalchemy]

@AlJohri that's a nice workaround actually!

This is resolved in #958
