Poetry says that "environment seems to be broken" all the time

See original GitHub issue

I am on the latest Poetry version.
I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).
OS version and name: Fedora 32
Poetry version: 1.0.10
Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: Link
I’ve also done poetry config virtualenvs.path .venv

Issue

Apparently, poetry invalidates virtual environment even if literally nothing happened to it. Here is an example where I install a package and and try to list packages, but it says that environment is broken and installs it again: Gist. My only idea is that PyCharm, which is configured to use the venv, messes something up but it shouldn’t write anything in venv, I guess.

I think I am also running into the same issue.

I have a local poetry.toml:

[virtualenvs]
path = ".venv"

And virtualenvs.in-project is set to false globally.

Ah, now I see what’s going on. At the moment you cannot point virtualenvs.path to .venv as this is some kind of reserved location for poetry. Whenever it finds a .venv folder within the project it asumes that this is the folder with the venv. But this is not the case here with this setting, because it just defines the root folder in which the folders for the venvs will be placed.
