I've tested it manually and it works as expected.

How do I write a test for this change?

Isn't there something like the repos from pyproject.toml are only for fetch (download) and the repos from poetry config (poetry.toml, etc.) are only for publish (upload)?

[orlevii]

@sinoroc What do you mean?

I don't want to specify the repository url in each and every pyporject.toml.

This change allows to configure the repository globally (on the machine) using poetry config, and under the pyporject.toml specify only the repository name to use.

Is there already a way to do that?

[sinoroc]

@orlevii I agree with you. I believe this is how it should be. I disagree with poetry's design decision to have index URLs in the pyproject.toml altogether, as I stated in #3355 (comment). There are some more tickets going in that same direction.

I am just pointing what the current intended behaviour seems to be, as far as I understood it from the following section of the doc for example (and the whole page actually):

• https://python-poetry.org/docs/repositories/#install-dependencies-from-a-private-repository

I could be mistaken of course.

@sinoroc
Yeah, got your point.
Looks like repositories added with poetry config can be only used for publishing purposes.

(just like shown here: #2940 (comment))

It causes some inconsistencies.. Setting credentials with poetry config http-basic.repo USERNAME PASSWORD is affecting both installation and publishing commands.

Anyway, I hope this issue will be addressed soon.
