`uv pip install` does not install any new dependencies

[skshetry]

Let's say I have a project with the following dependencies, and installed the package using:

cat pyproject.toml
uv pip install -e "."

# pyproject.toml

[project]
name = "test-project"
version = "0.0.1"
dependencies = ["fsspec"]

And, later if I add any new dependencies, doing uv pip install -e "." does not pick new dependencies and/or install them, unless I pass --upgrade.

[project]
name = "test-project"
version = "0.0.1"
dependencies = ["fsspec", "s3fs"]

This differs from pip install behaviour.

uv version

uv --version
uv 0.1.4

Agree that this should behave as you describe. I can't remember off-hand if this is due to a caching thing or something else.

I am currently facing the same issue, but in other ways. It seems as if uv is auditing the installation of a package based on the metadata stored in the <mypackage>.dist-info directory – which is why if I delete the <mypackage> directory from a virtual environment, it successfully audits based on the metadata directory's contents and believes that <mypackage> is still installed. Of course, this isn't recommended behaviour (deleting a package's installation from the virtual environment, that is) and this problem is in-line with what pip itself does (I should probably open an issue there as well).

A potential solution to mitigate this problem could be to store the checksums of the pyproject.toml/setup.py/setup.cfg files in the uv cache and validate them at the time of the audit.

I think this is fixed in version 0.1.11

[skshetry]

I'll check when it gets released. Thanks. 🙂

The editable issue seems to be fixed, but it does not work for non-editable installs yet. :(

[charliermarsh]

@skshetry - Can you provide the exact repro for non-editable installs, just so I can track what isn't working?

[skshetry]

cat pyproject.toml
uv pip install "test-project @ ."

[project]
name = "test-project"
version = "0.0.1"
dependencies = ["fsspec"]

After I add a dependency, say, s3fs, and run the above script again, it does not install new dependencies unless I add --upgrade.

cat pyproject.toml
uv pip install "test-project @ ."

[project]
name = "test-project"
version = "0.0.1"
dependencies = ["fsspec", "s3fs"]
