right. I see the problem here. Your workflow isn’t quite in line with how pipenv is designed, sorry for the confusion if this was unintuitive. There are a few things going on:

1. We don’t really intend for people to create an environment as a separate step, with no packages, and then activate the shell, step into it, and start cloning packages to install. This is part of what we would consider an old workflow that requires you to be constantly thinking about whether you have activated a virtualenv before you can install packages, and it’s something we want to discourage. Pipenv first and foremost is a dependency manager. Running it by itself without any dependencies to install is possible, but doesn’t make a lot of sense.

2. Specifically paths in a pipenv project are relative to the project itself. So when you pipenv install -e . you are installing the project root, not the directory you cd into. There are a lot of pragmatic and technical reasons for this, but mostly because if your project is not itself a package, it expects you to give it paths to packages or else the resulting Pipfile will be unusable. Imagine that every time you install a thing, it goes into your pipfile to be reproduced later – if we just put -e . in your pipfile every time you try this it wouldn’t make sense given that a project is the basis of all pipenv operations and as such all paths are translated relative to the project root.

The workflow you’d want for something like the example you gave could be one of two things depending on your needs:

$ git clone https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid.git
$ pipenv install -e ./pyramid/

Which would create a pipfile that looks like this:

...
[packages]
"hash" = {path = "./pyramid/", editable = true}
...

or you could just do the following:

$ pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid.git#egg=pyramid

and that would create a pipfile like this:

...
[packages]
"pyramid" = {git = "https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid.git", editable = true}
...

And in the second case it wouldn’t be in a local directory but would still install from VCS

Maybe we can at least provide more meaningful messages by resolving the relative path before passing it to pip?

As of now (version 2018.11.26), I think that the error message is still quite unhelpful. For me, it gives:

pipenv.vendor.requirementslib.exceptions.RequirementError: Error parsing requirement . – are you sure it is installable?

Which, given that the setup.py is right there in front of me, is confusing. pip install -e . does install the package as does cd .. && pipenv install -e dirname/.
