PIP_INDEX_URL behavior

[ericfrederich]

Is there a way to get the behavior of PIP_INDEX_URL using only environment variables?

For instance, on an internal CI build on a machine with no internet access with pip I can access our internal PyPI mirror/cache by doing the following:

export PIP_INDEX_URL=https://my_user:[email protected]"
pip install .

Trying to do the same with a poetry based project I run into issues. I can set the username and password like the following, but how do I tell poetry to use the internal server?

export POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_INTERNAL_USERNAME=my_user
export POETRY_HTTP_BASIC_INTERNAL_PASSWORD=my_password
poetry install

As described in Install dependencies from a private repository.

1. it's stored in pyproject.toml not in ~/.config/pypoetry/config.toml
2. it's an array value for [[tool.poetry.source]]`` with nameandurl` keys

Does this mean it's not something that can be configured with environment variables alone?

Check this issue. Currently it's easiest to use poetry export but it won't work when you need to add a package. For that you can switch to legacy installer mode in Poetry - it uses pip under the hood so PIP_INDEX_URL should work as expected.
