poetry self update fails for pipx-installed poetry

[ilyagr]

• Poetry version: 1.6.2 and 1.7.0

• Python version: 3.11.6

• OS version and name: Debian testing

• pyproject.toml: n/a

• I am on the latest stable Poetry version, installed using a recommended method.

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

• I have consulted the FAQ and blog for any relevant entries or release notes.

• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option) and have included the output below.

Issue

I tried upgrading from poetry 1.6.2, installed via pipx, to poetry 1.7.0 with poetry self update. The result was the error below.

I'm using pipx 1.2.1 and python 3.11.6 on Debian.

I believe that poetry self update should either call pipx upgrade or tell the user to do it, unless it's deprecated as per #7872.

I think/hope most people will figure out the problem, so this is not a major issue, but it'd still be nice to see fixed.

Previously: #7170.

People probably also try to self update installations made by some other means altogether eg their package manager. Perhaps it wouldn't be the worst idea for the poetry installer to leave behind some sort of marker file that poetry self could look for - and just bail out if not found.

As usual: if you care about this, then a pull request is overwhelmingly the most likely way to make something happen.

I hit this but in a slightly different way with plugins today. Hope this posts helps someone else like me in the future, and maybe contributes to the core fix here!

End result is poetry is unusable and I get No module named 'poetry.core.semver'

To replicate

1. pipx install poetry
2. poetry self add "poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]"
3. Any poetry command will now fail

Here's the output of 2 above which shows pretty clearly what's going on

poetry self add "poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]"

The work around is to not use poetry self add for plugins for poetry installed with pipx. Instead use pipx inject poetry poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]

Hello @ilyagr,

you haven't come back to this issue for a long while. So I assume this is solved in the meantime and I can close this ticket.

Feel free to leave a comment if you disagree.
