Same dependency but Dev is Local/Editable and Main is Git

[timthedevguy]

Greetings,

I have a module I wrote, and in local dev I'd like it to be installed from path and editable...so poetry add -D ../path/to/module, and that works great

But in prod I need to install it from GIT, seems easy....poetry add git+https:///lblllklkj...but I then get warning that there are duplicates

Incompatible constraints in requirements of eve-broker (0.1.0):
django-esi-auth @ file:///C:/Users/tim.davis/Projects/Python/django_esi_auth (0.13.0)                                                                                                                                                 
django-esi-auth @ git+https://github.com/timthedevguy/django_esi_auth.git (0.13.0)

Seems like this should be possible and I can't possibly be the only one that has needed this. What am I doing wrong? Google hasn't helped, lots of conflicting it works, it used to work, dev group changes broke it all. etc etc.

Anyone gotten this to work?

I did do a test and installed Dev using command line, then added the dependency manually to main, changed my Dockerfile to --without dev and it all installed fine but one the app starts the module isn't there.

Thanks!

Poetry resolves all dependency groups together, so --without dev only changes what gets installed. The local path and Git URL still conflict during locking. Poetry dependency groups

Keep the Git dependency in pyproject.toml and commit the lockfile. In production, use poetry sync --only main. For local development, install your project as usual, then replace just that dependency in your dev environment:

poetry run python -m pip install --no-deps --force-reinstall -e ../django_esi_auth

Keep the local checkout’s dependencies compatible with the lockfile, since --no-deps skips dependency installation. This was verified with AI assistance using Poetry 2.5.1. A clean sync imported the locked Git revision, and the editable install picked up live changes from the local checkout.
