Should poetry show
command show information about the root package of the project itself?

I think there are arguments for both:
I'd probably tend to feature request because the documentation about poetry show is not that good anyway (also see last point).
That's a very good point. I assume in non-package mode the behavior of To put it in a nutshell, I think a feature request might make sense. As always, of course, it has to be important enough for someone to implement it.

Hello, everyone!
I'm not sure if it's a bug report or feature request, so I spur a discussion. :)
It seems a bit counterintuitive from the usability perspective to me when I try to run
poetry show <name-of-the-root-package>
and gotpackage not found
error.If that's a design decision, then at least the error message is confusing, cause it says exactly
Package <name> not found
even afterpoetry install
.What's more confusing is that similar pip command succeeds:
pip show <name-of-the-root-package>
shows that a package IS installed.I've found a related feature request [#7731], but neither it has a lot enthusiasm upon it, nor about my actual case alone.
What do you think, should I file this issue alone as feature request or as bug?
Should this issue be revised at the dawn of the package-less poetry projects (1.8.0) [#8770]?
Steps to reproduce:
now,
show
the package and dependency via bothpip
andpoetry
show pip:
show poetry:
NB: Reproduces as well even after
poetry build && pip install dist/whatevername-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
