Issue

When running poetry install against a project, it sometimes 'corrupts' the installation of packages by creating empty, 0-byte files, when they should be full of content.

I have managed to create a minimal-reproduction repository, but in testing, it seems extremely sensitive to alterations (pyproject dependencies, lockfile, etc).

It seems to happen independently of creating a local venv.

I have not observed this happening in other packages, but also havent checked.
pip install jira appears to work fine consistently, and poetry add jira in an empty project too, so I don't think its a problem with the package itself.

See this GitHub Action run for logs and behaviour (inside a docker container, natively, and with a non-reproducing job) https://github.com/cvent/poetry-empty-file-repro/actions/runs/6016097573/job/16319349035

looks like jira and jira-python collide. Nothing much poetry can do about that, please close.

[jonathanmorley]

Would you mind expanding on how they collide? How could you tell? Could poetry be able to identify this collision and raise an error? As it stands, poetry appears to succeed installing them both together

[dimbleby]

both packages expect to be used as import jira, both packages contain jira/__init__.py. At installation sometimes one wins and sometimes the other.

You can inspect the packages that you download eg from https://pypi.org/project/jira-python/#files to verify this.

No, poetry can't know this in advance.

Please close.
