Dependencies not being installed if I use a Pipfile

See original GitHub issue

I am having issues installing Flask using pipenv

I have tried two approaches. Firstly installing from a Pipfile;

[[source]]
url = "https://pypi.python.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
name = "pypi"

[packages]
flask = "*"

[requires]
python_version = "3.6"

I then run pipenv install the output of the command is as follows;

To activate this project's virtualenv, run the following:
 $ pipenv shell

The output of pipenv graph is the following;

Flask==0.12.2
  - click [required: >=2.0, installed: 6.7]
  - itsdangerous [required: >=0.21, installed: ?]
  - Jinja2 [required: >=2.4, installed: 2.9.5]
  - Werkzeug [required: >=0.7, installed: ?]

If I try to import flask in the python shell started with pipenv python I get missing library werkzeug error.

The second approach which works is to start without a Pipfile and just run pipenv install flask the output of which is;

I get no import errors!

Any help would be appreciated!? This worked perfectly less than a week ago…

Hand-written Pipfile works on my machine.

@josh-gree Yes. In most situations the lock file is the target Pipenv tries to sync your environment to. Pipfile generates the lock file; the lock file generates the environment. If the lock file exists (and is not oudated, judged from a hash coded inside it), Pipenv will simply use it without consulting the Pipfile.
