#2038 Failed to resolve compatible distributions when building Pex from .whl with local dependencies Issue created by rajaie-sg I have a

pyproject.toml

file as below at `~/code/mylibrary/`:

[tool.poetry]
name = "mylibrary"
version = "0.1.0"

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = ">=3.8,<4"
anotherlibrary = {path = "../anotherlibrary", develop=true}
[tool.poetry.group.dev.dependencies]

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

I build a .whl for

mylibrary

and here's what its

mylibrary-0.1.0.dist-info/METADATA

file contains:

Metadata-Version: 2.1
Name: mylibrary
Version: 0.1.0
Requires-Python: >=3.8,<4
Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3
Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3.8
Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3.9
Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3.10
Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3.11
Requires-Dist: anotherlibrary @ file:///Users/rajaiealkorani/code/anotherlibrary
Description-Content-Type: text/markdown

I am trying to build a Pex file by passing that .whl as a dependency, but I am getting the error below:

pex --resolver-version pip-2020-resolver dist/mylibrary-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl -o /tmp/testing.pex 
Failed to resolve compatible distributions:
1: mylibrary==0.1.0 requires anotherlibrary@ file:///Users/rajaiealkorani/code/anotherlibrary but no version was resolved

Is this a bug in Pex, or is this kind of dependency specification not supported? I'm able to run

pip install mylibrary-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

in a clean virtual environment as long as

file:///Users/rajaiealkorani/code/anotherlibrary

exists I am using Pex

2.1.120
