Issue

I a m trying to execute a command like this:

 poetry add  "git+ssh://git@gitlab.XXX.io:XX/XX.git#egg=pkg&subdirectory=app"

That is, I am seek to install from a repo on Gitlab where the setup.py is in a subdirectory app. I got the above command from here on stackoverflow, and it works when I do poetry run pip install ....

However when doing poetry add as above, I am getting:

[CalledProcessError]
Command '['git', '--git-dir', '/var/folders/gd/1lpddhjd5fq2zh0ktw4q26z5xm6fsn/T/pypoetry-git-rsdslo4r2dqx/.git', '--work-tree', '/var/folders/gd/1lpddhjd5fq2zh0ktw4q26z5xm6fsn/T/pypoetry-git-rsdslo4r2dqx', 'checkout', 'egg=pkg&subdirectory=app']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Is this an issue on my or on Poetry's side?

Many thanks.

Hello @mohelm,

installing packages in a subfolder of git is currently not supported by poetry. There is already a feature request for it (#755) and I started to work on that (#1822).

I close this as a duplicate.
