InstallationError with { path = ".", editable = true }

I used to be able to include my own package in the Pipfile using { path = ".", editable = true }, but now I’m getting this error:

pip9.exceptions.InstallationError: No files/directories in /private/tmp/demo (from )

I installed pipenv with Homebrew (pipenv, version 11.7.2), so I can’t paste the results of python -m pipenv.help.

This was working with the version available last week on Homebrew.

Expected result

Pipfile.lock is generated.

Actual result

Steps to replicate

$ tree
.
├── Pipfile
├── foo
│   └── __init__.py
└── setup.py

1 directory, 3 files

where Pipfile:

[[source]]

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

[requires]

python_version = "3.6"

[packages]

foo = { path = ".", editable = true }

and setup.py:

import setuptools

setuptools.setup(
    packages=setuptools.find_packages(),
)

Thanks for that info. It seems that in order to use the name I want in the Pipfile I now need to run pipenv run python setup.py develop before running any pipenv commands.

I ran into this as well on 11.9.0. Moving the editable requirement to the first in the list of [packages] seems to have resolved it.
