TypeError: Can't intern string

Issue

I'm facing this issue when building my poetry project using the new poetry-core. When looking a little deeper, it seems like the fix in commit was not applied to poetry-core.

I would love to help out with a PR, but will need some direction :)

@darkvariantdivine can you try the latest pre-release please?

[darkvariantdivine]

Thanks for the prompt response @abn.

Here is a snippet of my pyproject.toml that specifies my build-system:

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=1.0.0a5"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

I'm using pip to install the project with the following configuration:
pip install -U -vvv myproject --target='./packages' --install-option='--install-scripts=./bin'

Just to confirm, this is poetry-core 1.0.0a9? I will try and update the results.

Hello @darkvariantdivine,

the latest pre-release version is 1.1.0b2.

Could you please provide enough enough information to reproduce your issue?

@finswimmer, thanks for replying. This is more of a poetry-core issue but when I attempted to create an issue on poetry-core, it directed me to the poetry issue board.

I'm trying to install my project (that I'm using poetry to manage builds) to a specific folder with a specific structure using the following command:

pip install -U genisys --target='.packages' -- install-option='--install-scripts=./bin'

My project's pyproject.toml is below, I'm using poetry-core build system rather than poetry due to #760 :

[tool.poetry]
name = "genisys"
version = "0.1.2"
description = "A framework for building intelligent microservices"

packages = [
    { include = "genisys" },
]
exclude = [
    "devops",
    "genisys/*/tests"
]

[tool.poetry.plugins."genisys.cli"]

[tool.tox]

commands = python -m unittest discover -v -s ./genisys -t .
"""

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=1.0.0a5"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

This is the error I'm getting:

  ----------------------------------------
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for genisys

When I looked deeper into the code base, the error seems similar to #634 and the fix in commit 417d01d does not seem to be applied in poetry-core

poetry-core (poetry/core/masonry/builders/builder.py line 99):

                for excluded in self._path.glob(excluded_glob):

poetry (poetry/masonry/builders/builder.py line 56):

                for excluded in self._path.glob(str(excluded_glob)):

@darkvariantdivine definitely give you this, this is an interesting issue.

For anyone who is interested in the root case, when tomlkit reads in the toml file, the values of tool.poetry.exclude are of tyle <class 'tomlkit.items.String'>. This in most parts works seamlessly everwhere a string is required. However, it seems that in this particular case, since one of the values ("devops") is an absolute path, ie. no relative path or glob, pathlib decides to use a code path that ends up triggerring the a call to sys.intern(exclude[0]) and this is what fails.

An immediate workaround would be to use devops/** instead of devops.

[darkvariantdivine]

Thanks @finswimmer and @abn for this. Poetry is a great tool, I hope it continues to grow!
