Why does `poetry install --develop` require an argument?

Question

With the deprecation of poetry develop and the switch to poetry install --develop I’m curious why --develop requires an argument (e.g., --develop foo)? After a quick glance at the command source it doesn’t appear to be used for anything.

There was a behavioral change in version 0.12.0 which makes path dependencies always installed in editable mode.

So, at this time the --develop option is not longer necessary and thus should be removed.

For information, if you don’t want the dependency to be installed in editable mode you can specify it in the pyproject.toml file.

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
my-package = {path = "../my/path", develop = false}
