VCS dependency installation fails with 'Could not get current working directory'

[theodox]

Issue description

Attempting to install a vcs dependencies fails with .fatal: Could not get current working directory: No such file or directory . In order to get a clean repro case I simply made a new directory, cd'd into it, and used the vcs example from the docs,

 pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/requests/[email protected]#egg=requests

Expected result

I expected the installation to succeed

Actual result

Here's the traceback.
In previous trial runs I believe I observed an off-by-one problem in the tracebacks: the run prior to this referred to a different repo -- not requests -- that I had tried to install earlier and which had failed the same way. This traceback is the second attempt to use the requests example in a row so if the same incorrect traceback was generated it's not obvious because I used the same URL twice in a row.

Can you try the command in the last line of output to see if it works?
git clone -q https://github.com/requests/requests.git

[theodox]

It fails if I am inside the project directory. If I cd out of the project directory, it succeeds

[theodox]

Incidentally I tried the exact same sequence on a different machine and this one worked.. Both windows running gitbash. The only obvious difference AFAICT is that the broken example runs under cmder and the working one runs under conemu...

[al-the-x]

I ran into a similar problem with pipenv and VCS deps as documented in #3404. My error message was different, but the cause -- VCS deps -- were the same. Removing / commenting the VCS deps allowed the lockfile to be generated correctly; restoring them caused the error.

Could you try patching pipenv locally as I have done in #3404 and report back about the effects?

[theodox]

I'll give it a shot when I can, may be a bit though

hm, could be related to a number of possible issues w/r/t VCS dependency cloning but I believe this was a bug in requirementslib which is resolved, I'll push some updates shortly
