RuntimeError thrown when executing `poetry publish -r <name>` with environment variable `POETRY_REPOSITORIES_<NAME>` set

• 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: 10.15.3 Mac OS X

• Poetry version: 1.0.5

Issue

According to the doc on using environment variables for configuration, I should be able to declare an alternative package repository to publish to by setting an environment variable of format POETRY_REPOSITORIES_<NAME> (like POETRY_REPOSITORIES_MYREPO).

However, when running the following commands:

$ export POETRY_REPOSITORIES_MYREPO=http://myrepo.url
$ poetry publish -r myrepo

The following error is thrown:

[RuntimeError]
Repository myrepo is not defined

This is due to the fact that the following code for storing the config https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/754dbf80dc022b89974288cff10b40ab2f1c2697/poetry/console/commands/config.py#L168-L170 transforms "repositories.<name>" into "repositories.<name>.url", and the following code for publishing https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/754dbf80dc022b89974288cff10b40ab2f1c2697/poetry/masonry/publishing/publisher.py#L51-L56 looks for "repositories.<name>.url".

However, the code handling environment variables (in the poetry.config.config.Config.get method) does not treat the POETRY_REPOSITORIES_<NAME> environment variables in any particular way, and hence presents with an equivalent to "repositories.<name>", not "repositories.<name>.url": https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/754dbf80dc022b89974288cff10b40ab2f1c2697/poetry/config/config.py#L109-L115

Workaround

A workaround to this is to add _URL as a suffix to the variables (here POETRY_REPOSITORIES_MYREPO_URL), but this does not follow the simple and elegant rule for setting poetry though environment variables as defined in the doc.

Corrective options

There are several way this could be corrected:

Option 1: change the config setting repositories.<name> to repositories.<name>.url

• Pros:
  • does not change current way the settings are stored
  • backwards compatibility for existing scripts (ci/cd and other automation) could be kept by allowing the usage of repositories.<name>
• Cons:
  • the addition of .url does not seem to make much sens - appart perhaps for config file readability, which IMHO is questionable - since there is no other setting required to repositories than their url
  • backward compatibility fix feels a bit like a dirty hack

Option 2: change the config setting storage from repositories.<name>.url to repositories.<name>

• Pros:
  • removes the use of .url
  • backwards compatibility for existing configuration files could be kept by looking also for repositories.<name>.url when searching for repositories.<name>
• Cons:
  • backward compatibility fix feels a bit like a dirty hack, but is probably necessary to not break existing systems (unless an upgrade process is created)

Option 3: apply to the environment variables the same transformation that that to the comfig setting (POETRY_REPOSITORIES_<NAME> transformed on the fly to the equivalent of POETRY_REPOSITORIES_<NAME>_URL)

• Pros:
  • keeps much of the code the same
  • no need for backward compatibility
• Cons:
  • does not remove the use of .url

Any preferred option? My personal vote goes as first best for option 2 with an upgrade process and as second best to option 3.

For us it’s working the following way :

• config: poetry config repositories.acme http://localhost:8080/repository/acme-pypi/
• config: poetry config http-basic.acme <user> <password>
• build: poetry build
• publish: poetry publish -r acme

Poetry version 1.0.5

I am sad to see that this is two years old and not fixed. I am having the same issue, trying to use poetry publish -r <url> -u <username> -p <password> to upload to a private repository and it just will not work

Repository is not defined

url = self._poetry.config.get("repositories.{}.url".format(repository_name))

Would be great to see it fixed soon, moving to twine in the meantime
