UrlOrPath - store absolute Windows URLs with `file:///`?

[wolfv]

For the reference, I also tried the following in a pyproject.toml and it gave the same entry in the lockfile.

dependencies = [
    "minimal-project @ file:///C:/Users/wolfv/Programs/pixi/examples/pypi-source-deps/minimal-project",
]

Note that if it is located in the required_dist section of the lock it is actually a direct file url. This happens for the transient dependencies.

And that was what was causing issues in pixi because the comparison failed.

[wolfv]

@tdejager do you have a way to repro that easily?

[tdejager]

Only with pixi itself 😀

[wolfv]

Sure, but what do I need to tell pixi to reproduce it?!

[wolfv]

Also maybe we should normalize the paths in the requirements to be relative as well? If possible... just a thought

If you create a 'pixi.toml' that points to another pyproject.toml (can be relative) which in turn points to another pyproject.toml. Using a 'project @ file:://path' dependency in the pyproject.toml dependeny section not in the 'tool.pixi.*' section.

Yeah was thinking of maybe converting all paths in the lock into a single format. Though you'll not be able to change the 'requires_dist' type.
