pip-compile cant take a directory.

[SanketDG]

When I input pip-compile with a directory,

❯ pip-compile requirements 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sanket/.virtualenvs/djangohub/bin/pip-compile", line 11, in <module>

It would be great if pip-compile would find all the *.in files and compile them when a directory is given as a parameter.

I'm not sure of the use case for this over compiling from a master requirements.in specified like this:

-r requirements/foo.in
-r requirements/bar.in

Given the lack of activity for nearly 3 years, and the suggested alternative, I'm closing this for now.

I have independent requirements files for runtime (requires), test deps, CI (i.e. tox), deployment deps. I need a four-line shell script wrapper to compile them all to their respective target.

[rpkilby]

@merwok - that sounds like a different feature. This issue was requesting that a directory of *.in files be compiled into a single target requirements file, not one-to-one respective targets for each input.

[merwok]

You are right! #532 is that other feature.

[SanketDG]

Haha, this was almost three years back. I apologize for my naivety back then. I have since then realized you can just use the suggested alternative. :)

FYI, there is a pip-compile-multi project for this particular case.
