Cannot install package from git on Windows if repository contains symlinks

Open bruchar1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

poetry add git+https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson.git does not work on Windows, because it tries to create a symlink.

However, I can git clone this repository with no problems, and I can install it with pip with no problems (pip install git+https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson.git).

This was reported in #6246. However, I do think this is a poetry bug, since pip can manage it with no problems.
