Referencing dependency groups from other packages in uv export

[mgryszko]

Question

I have two packages, jobs and glue. glue depends on jobs. My goal is to create requirements.txt combining dependencies from both projects using main and dev dependencies.

uv pip compile works:

uv pip compile --group ../jobs/pyproject.toml:dev --no-deps --annotation-style=line --no-emit-package=jobs  pyproject.toml

When using uv export, I cannot reference dev dependency group from jobs. This command causes an error:

uv export --format requirements-txt --no-hashes --group ../jobs/pyproject.toml:dev

Is it possible to include a dependency group from other package with uv export?

jobs pyproject.toml (dependency list simplified):

[project]
name = "jobs"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.11,<3.12"
dependencies =  ["polars==1.16.0"]

[dependency-groups]
dev = ["duckdb==1.1.3"]

glue pyproject.toml (dependency list simplified):

[project]
name = "jobs"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.11,<3.12"
dependencies =  ["pandas==2.1.4", "jobs"]

[tool.uv.sources]
jobs = { path = "../jobs" }
