Directory does not exist errors for path dependencies

• I am on the latest Poetry version.

Issue

v1.1.7 can cause path dependencies to not be found when packages are not all at the same directory depth. This appears to happen because the dependencies are searched for relative to the lockfile rather than relative to the lockfile and package.

As an example, for the directory structure

/
  pyproject.toml
  poetry.lock
  /lib
    /libA
      pyproject.toml
      poetry.lock
    /libB
      pyproject.toml
      poetry.lock

and relevant part of the poetry.lock file for the root

[[package]]
name = "lib-a"
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
category = "main"
optional = false
python-versions = "^2.7.9"
develop = true

[package.dependencies]
lib-b = {path = "../libB", develop = true}

[package.source]
type = "directory"
url = "lib/libA"

[metadata]
lock-version = "1.1"
python-versions = "*"
content-hash = "115cf985d932e9bf5f540555bbdd75decbb62cac81e399375fc19f6277f8c1d8"

[metadata.files]
lib-a = []
lib-b = []

In 1.1.7, we get a Directory ../lib-b does not exist error because it tries to find the libB dependency at /../lib-b rather than /lib/libA/../libB.

This is likely a problem with previous versions of poetry but 1.1.7 changed the lockfiles for path dependencies to be paths rather than versions so becomes apparent when installing a package.

I’m experiencing the same issue. Downgrading to 1.1.6 is a temporary workaround.

I downgraded poetry to v1.1.6 and still experience this same issue.

Maybe this is caused by you lock file being generated with a newer version of Poetry. Regenerating the lock file with 1.1.6 solved it for me.

So I played around a little and ended up getting it to work. I ended up getting it to work if I manually added the package to pyproject.toml, but when attempting to use poetry add <path> I get this same issue in 1.1.6.
