Is it possible to use a private repository with chalices requirements.txt?

[mence40]

I have this private repo that I made with the poetry python library. I can pip install said repo on my local device just fine, but now I want to make a chalice app that has dependencies on my private repo, and I am running into some issues.

My requirements.txt file currently looks like this

requests fastjsonschema boto3 git+https://gitlab.com/<path to project>/<my project>.git@master#egg=<my project>

When I use chalice deploy, I am prompted for my gitlab username and password. After typing it in, I get this error

chalice.deploy.packager.UnsupportedPackageError: Unable to retrieve name/version for package: <my project>

Obviously there is an unsupported package error, but I am unsure if this is because I am making a mistake myself, or if what I am doing is not a feature of chalice. Any ideas? Also, if anyone would like to suggest an alternative approach to accomplish what I am trying to do, I am all ears!

Thanks your your time!

@mence40 you might have to look into #502

Hi @mence40 https://aws.github.io/chalice/topics/packaging.html#rd-party-packages you may use this functionality of chalice.
