How to fix VersionConflict locking failure in pipenv?


I'm using pipenv inside a docker container. I tried installing a package and found that the installation succeeds (gets added to the Pipfile), but the locking keeps failing. Everything was fine until yesterday. Here's the error:

What could be wrong?

EDIT After removing Pipfile.lock and trying to install a package, I got:

Solution

  • Here are my debugging notes. Still not sure which package is causing the problem, but this does seem to fix it.

    The error you get when you first run pipenv install with pipenv version 2020.8.13.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/local/bin/pipenv", line 8, in <module>

    If you run pip install -U pipenv it seems to change the importlib-metadata version:

    Installing collected packages: importlib-metadata
      Attempting uninstall: importlib-metadata
        Found existing installation: importlib-metadata 2.0.0
        Uninstalling importlib-metadata-2.0.0:
          Successfully uninstalled importlib-metadata-2.0.0
    Successfully installed importlib-metadata-1.7.0
    

    Now if you run pipenv install -d --skip-lock it will finish. It seems like a library is requiring a version >= importlib-metadata 2.0.

    When I pinned the following dependencies it didn't work at first when running pipenv lock, however, if I removed the lock file (rm Pipenv.lock) then it worked when I ran pipenv lock again.

    virtualenv = "==20.0.31"
    importlib-metadata = "==1.7.0"
