Multiple lock files feature doesn't seems to work for VCS dependencies

[liran-cohen-hs]

Trying to use this feature for developers to be able to use inner dependencies from local version
didn't try it with regular dependency (from pypi)
Tried 2 different methods:

1 - using PDM add commands, the second one always seems to fail
running:
pdm add "git+ssh://[email protected]/HiredScore/[email protected]#egg=hs_gimme"
then
pdm add -e ../gimme --dev
results in:

Adding group dev to lockfile
Adding packages to dev dev-dependencies: hs-gimme @ file:///${PROJECT_ROOT}/../gimme
🔒 Lock failed
Unable to find a resolution for hs-gimme
because of the following conflicts:
hs-gimme @ file:///${PROJECT_ROOT}/../gimme (from project)
hs-gimme @ git+ssh://[email protected]/HiredScore/[email protected] (from project)

2 - using one PDM add command and the second dependency I've put manually
in this case, the dev dependency is ignored
running:
pdm add "git+ssh://[email protected]/HiredScore/[email protected]#egg=hs_gimme"
then, adding this lines manually to pyproject.toml:

[tool.pdm.dev-dependencies]
dev = ["hs-gimme @ file:///${PROJECT_ROOT}/../gimme"]

and running pdm lock is ignoring the dev dependency I added, in addition, any pdm add command will now fail with the same resolution error from step 1

referring to this feature:
https://pdm.fming.dev/latest/usage/dependency/#specify-the-lockfile-to-use

I am on the latest PDM version (2.5.0b0)

This is a blocker for us in migrating to PDM, as this feature of developing locally with editable option is widely used across the company

Thanks

Because you are adding two different specifications for the same package, you need to make them in separate lockfiles or otherwise one will override the other. Follow this steps:

pdm add "git+ssh://[email protected]/HiredScore/[email protected]#egg=hs_gimme"
# This will create a lockfile named pdm.lock that only contains "default" group
pdm add -e ../gimme --dev -L pdm.dev.lock
# This will create a lockfile named pdm.dev.lock that contains the editalbe local copy

# To install the default version:
pdm install
# Or to install for development:
pdm install -L pdm.dev.lock

There was a bug to be released in 2.5.0. Please try it again on the next stable release.

sorry I am bothering you again :)
now both of the pdm add commands works, but after them, any pdm add of any library seems to fail because of the internal library
does it mean it forces me to always add dependencies to a specific lock file ?

pdm add -e $HSCODE/gimme --dev -L pdm.dev.lock                              
Adding group dev to lockfile
Adding packages to dev dev-dependencies: -e file:///Users/liran/hiredscore/git/gimme#egg=hs-gimme
🔒 Lock successful

and after that:

pdm add requests                                                                          
Adding packages to default dependencies: requests
🔒 Lock failed
Unable to find a resolution for hs-gimme
because of the following conflicts:
  -e file:///Users/liran/hiredscore/git/gimme#egg=hs-gimme (from project)
  hs-gimme @ git+ssh://[email protected]/HiredScore/[email protected] (from project)

thanks again for the quick responses ! much appreciated

The issue is that now your pdm.lock can't contain the dev group(listed at [metadata] table`), then the local version won't ever show again.
