Installation failed with poetry

[aicoder2048]

Hi,
I am running on Windows 11, and I have created a separate venv for this project.

when I run "poetry install --with dev", I got the following five lines of message, error message
Installing dependencies from lock file
No dependencies to install or update
Installing the current project: rags (0.0.2)
The current project could not be installed: No file/folder found for package rags
If you do not want to install the current project use --no-root

To resolve the problem, I have deleted venv and github repo, and then recreated the venv and re-clone the repo, but the problem above persist.

Pls help,
thanks,
Sean

You need to add --no-root to the install command:

poetry install --with dev --no-root

not sure what does it mean "If you do not want to install the current project use --no-root" , when it is trying to "Installing the current project: rags (0.0.2)". I will try with no-root, thanks.

This is simplifying a lot, but it essentially means "don't install rags as a Python package in my environment. Only install the dependencies from pyproject.toml".
