poetry sync will not switch package from non-editable to editable #10666
Description
Description
Please let me know if this needs to be split into two issues.
I have some packages that is deep editable. It means:
Package A has a develop = true dependency, which is Package B.
Package B has a develop = true dependency, which is Package C.
I notice that when creating venv for Package A, Package C is not installed as an editable pip dependency.
Workarounds
The only workaround is to explicitly add Package C as a develop = true dependency of Package A. But after running poetry lock and poetry sync, nothing really happens, and I have to manually remove the package using pip and sync again.
