Too many arguments with poetry install

I am facing some issues with Poetry.

I am getting the following error while trying to execute pytest: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coverage' But when I try to install with poetry like this: poetry install coverage I get the following error message: Too many arguments.

Anyone knows how to solve it?

I tried to execute poetry install coverage but got only the message Too many arguments.

Solution

  • poetry install doesn't accept any arguments. It only installs the dependencies described in pyproject.toml.

    Instead you need to use poetry add to add a new dependency. Check out the documentation for more details. In fact, you should always refer to the official documentation for guidance in situations like this.
