🛠️ Troubleshooting

pip install fails with FileNotFoundError

When using a project that uses local_dependencies: [../not/current/dir] in the requirements.yaml file:

local_dependencies:
  # File in a different directory than the pyproject.toml file
  - ../common-requirements.yaml

You might get an error like this when using a pip version older than 22.0:

$ pip install /path/to/your/project/using/unidep
  ...
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/pathlib.py", line 1222, in open
    return io.open(self, mode, buffering, encoding, errors, newline,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/pathlib.py", line 1078, in _opener
    return self._accessor.open(self, flags, mode)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/common-requirements.yaml'

The solution is to upgrade pip to version 22.0 or newer:

pip install --upgrade pip
