How to install scripts from pyproject.toml?

Question

I have this snippet in my pyproject.toml

[tool.poetry.scripts]
devel = "uvicorn api:app --reload"
prod = "uvicorn api:app"

I install it as mentioned in poetry documentation

(wowtcg-tracker-api-dIKBwUYp-py3.10) bastakka@Karel-NTB:/m/c/U/b/D/P/I/w/wowtcg-tracker-api (main↓2|✚9…9)
» poetry install

But there were no scripts generated from this command.

Poetry can't run them

And there are none in the venv bin either

Am I missing something needed or doing something wrong?

Answer 1

tool.poetry.scripts is used for "scripts or executables that will be installed when installing the package". You'd have to drop the poetry run prefix to run them.

For development scripts I'd recommend something like taskipy. e.g.

# pyproject.toml
[tool.taskipy.tasks]
devel = "uvicorn api:app --reload"
prod = "uvicorn api:app"

Then you can run something like poetry run task devel
