Expected result

The pipenv install --deploy --system command completes successfully.

Actual result

Command exists with code 1 with the following output.

+ pipenv install --deploy --system
Warning: --system is intended to be used for Pipfile installation, not installation of specific packages. Aborting.

Hi @ryan-blunden. The Issue tracker is used for tracking changes merged into master. We already read your issue and fixed it in master, please do not use this as a forum to tell us how to run the project.

We can probably improve the error message to let the user know what to do next.

It’s required that the Pipfile.lock presents in the current folder for the --system option to work.

@ryan-blunden, I believe the error you were getting is because you missed adding the Pipfile, and Pipfile.lock to the directory in the container. Pipenv is unable to find your files. Try adding those files (If they are in your current working directory, you can do “COPY . /” ) to docker before running Pipenv install step. I was able to make it work with “Run Pipenv install --system” in the Dockerfile.

@ryan-blunden with the gist you linked, you should be getting an error, but it seems like you’re getting the wrong error. If you are passing --system you can’t install from a pipfile, you must have a lockfile unless you pass --skip-lock. If you pass --deploy you can’t install from an out-of-date lockfile (one that is out of sync with your pipfile) which means you must both include your pipfile AND your lockfile and they must be in sync.

If you want to do the resolution step in a container you need to drop the --deploy flag and add the --site-packages flag.

In my case, I’m using neither --deploy nor --system. Pipenv just seems to think I am.

That would be great.

What exactly is the problem with that command now? Is there still a way to install libraries globally?

With --deploy command you should definitely have Pipfile.lock and you should have it up-to-date. However the error message it gives should mention this. Without --deploy I’m not sure if it should require running pipenv lock explicitly.
