Installing local package with `pipenv install '-e .' --dev` no longer works.

See original GitHub issue

The feature described https://docs.pipenv.org/basics.html#editable-dependencies-e-g-e was broken in this commit https://github.com/kennethreitz/pipenv/commit/0a48fa090e2535041e5280511a6a2f1696de6797

In the most recent version of pipenv (8.3.1), pipenv install '-e .' --dev fails with a TypeError from this line https://github.com/kennethreitz/pipenv/blob/v8.3.1/pipenv/utils.py#L540

Since ‘.’ is a directory and not a regular file, it fails the check on L539 os.path.isfile(req.path) and the Requirements object name is None when parsing this type of requirement which causes the exception to be raised.

Installing pipenv==8.2.7 resolved this issue for me.

quick workaround - add "cjSj384E" = {path = ".", editable = true} to your Pipfile manually where cjSj384E is the hash of path to the current directory. you can get this hash from checking the currently virtualenv name pipenv --venv
