Possible bug fetching Pipfile.lock for public repository

[jackdewinter]

Are you experiencing an issue with...

shields.io

🐞 Description

As part of the Application Properties package, we have a public repo hosted on GitHub.

Using the predefined format and through https://shields.io/badges/git-hub-pipenv-locked-dependency-version-1, with the following properties:

• user: jackdewinter
• repo: application_properties
• packageName: black
• branch: main
  the url: https://img.shields.io/github/pipenv/locked/dependency-version/jackdewinter/application_properties/black/main is created.

This URL seems to always show: Default dependency not found.

I have tried various changes and forms of the URL, and each seems to produce the same result. I have double checked that https://github.com/jackdewinter/application_properties/blob/main/Pipfile.lock contains a valid file. Based on this information, I would expect it to work, but it is not.

It is because black is a dev dependency. You want

https://img.shields.io/github/pipenv/locked/dependency-version/jackdewinter/application_properties/dev/black/main

I'm aware the docs for some of these badges with a number of variants are a bit all over the place at the moment. We're working on improving them.

Cool... when I went to https://shields.io/badges/git-hub-pipenv-locked-dependency-version-branch to check, there was little information for me to understand that because they are dev dependencies, that they need to be treated differently.

Any way I can help by suggesting better doc wording or anything?

Thanks for the offer of help.

When we launched the new website, we did a bit of a "best effort" conversion of the examples and documentation. One of the next jobs is to review the examples and documentation but at the moment, this process is a bit blocked: The next thing that needs to fall into place is getting #9320 merged.
