Hatch direct local dependency in editable mode

[linjer]

Hello,

I have a project that depends on another local project. This is specified as a direct local dependency, e.g.,

dependencies = [
    "myproject @ file://{root:uri}/../myproject",
    # ...
]

The issue is when changes are made to myproject locally without a version bump, the installed copy becomes out of date, and I need to rebuild the entire environment to get changes reflected.

Is there a way to have this dependency be installed in editable or development mode?

Reasonable workaround that seems to work for now:

After creating an initial env:

1. hatch run uv pip uninstall myproject
2. hatch run uv pip install -e ../myproject

I think this holds for core dependencies that don't get removed between environments, and until you remove/create your environment again.
