poetry 1.0.0b4 hangs

[jabbalaci]

$ poetry self:update --preview
Updating to 1.0.0b4
 - Downloading poetry-1.0.0b4-linux.tar.gz 100%

Poetry (1.0.0b4) is installed now. Great!

When I try to start poetry, it hangs, nothing happens:

$ poetry

Then, if I terminate it with Ctrl+C, this is the output I get:

Does anybody else have this problem?

[uhlajs]

Yes, I do. I am using Arch (Sway/Wayland) and it seems to be some bug connected with Wayland, because when I use console this problem does not occure.

[jabbalaci]

Version 1.0.0 came out. I updated poetry 0.12.17 to the stable 1.0.0 and it still hangs on Manjaro. Developers of poetry: how to solve this issue?

[janw]

This is a drive-by armchair comment, but maybe it helps: Looking at the traceback on where it’s at when interrupted, it looks to me like an issue with the keyring library that Poetry uses/vendors. Probably a connection error because dbus isn’t running or gnome-keyring not being installed or something? Maybe check its setup instructions and see if that works on its own first?

[Ivoz]

Sure maybe keyring hasn't got all its proper dependencies that the user could manually fix, but if the poetry self-installer isn't automatically providing that or warning about it in the first place, this is a horrible UX for a default install.

[janw]

You’re definitely not wrong. I’d still regard this as an upstream bug in keyring or secretstorage, that is also difficult to run into in the first place. My above suggestion was more meant as an exploratory mission to find out if it is indeed that.

---

Implementation-wise when looking at the poetry/utils/helpers.py module, I think it’s not ideal that the imports from keyring are at its top of file. That causes the keyring’s init process to trigger, and look for backends etc. on every run of poetry, regardless if any used credentials in are actually stored in the system keyring, and more so without them being needed to perform the current command.

I’d move the components depending on from keyring … imports into a separate helpers module and in turn import those locally where specifically needed, what do you think @sdispater ?

I still have the hanging problem. I installed poetry using the preferred way (curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python), but after launch it still hangs.

Environment: Manjaro Linux, Python 3.8.0, poetry 1.0.0 .

Update: if I let it run, poetry executes after 90 seconds. So something still makes it wait for a very long time.

[jabbalaci]

The issue got solved! Manjaro came out with a larger update and the new poetry doesn't hang. Current version of poetry is 1.0.2.
