Make `poetry remove <package>` work on dev-dependencies

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.

Feature Request

$ poetry add -D <package>
$ poetry remove <package>

  ValueError

  Package <package> not found

It’d be nice if remove (and possibly other subcommands) would also look in the dev-dependencies for convenience. The error message in this case seems rather confusing. Same works for example with yarn.

There is already a feature request for this in https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/2058. That’s why I will close this one here.

I think the reason for confusion about the current behavior is, that only few people are aware, that one can define the same package in both section as @abn said.

IMO a confirm dialog would be fine. But also just removing the dep if it’s only in one section would be nice. (My personal opinion)

Thanks for finding that one and sorry for not searching throughly enough. GitHub search was not really helpful when searching for keywords like “remove” which are found in many issues.
