Unable to use local wheel as dependency

I am trying to use a local wheel as a dependency (for the default environment) on hatch 1.1.1 on Windows 10. I’ve tried this:

"file:./package.whl"

and this

"file:///c:/Users/myuser/full/path/to/package.whl"

I end up getting an error like ValueError: Dependency #2 of field `project.dependencies` is invalid: Parse error at "':///c:/U'": Expected string_end.

Is this not supported yet in the latest release, or am I misunderstanding the syntax? If this is an error on my part, can you update the documentation to be more clear?

Fixed docs & feature! https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/config/dependency/#local

Maybe the the documentation could be improved

Will do, thanks!

Will the environment automatically be updated (e.g. I added a new package) when running a command in the environment?

Yes https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/environment/#dependencies

Do I need to remove the environment if the initial environment creation failed (like it did in this case)?

Yes
