Relative file path in Pipfile being converted to Absolute file path in Pipfile.lock

[bendog]

Issue description

Using the file install method for Pipenv, we've run into an issue with a relative path being converted to an absolute path on locking. This prevents us from using the lock file to install from as the path will very from user to user.

I've tried changing the method of import, and I've tried removing the .lock file, but it still gets built at an absolute path.

pipenv, version 2022.9.24

Pipfile

himl = {file = "./lib/himl"}

Expected result

Expected result would be a portable lock file that references the location relatively

Pipfile.lock

        "himl": {
            "file": "./lib/himl",
            "version": "==0.5.4"
        },

Actual result

Pipfile.lock

        "himl": {
            "file": "file:///Users/username/dev/livemine-hole-information-service/hole-information-loader/lib/himl",
            "version": "==0.5.4"
        },

Steps to replicate

Given a Pipfile containing a relative file import.
When the user runs pipenv lock
Then the Pipfile.lock file generated converts the relative file location for an absolute file location for the machine it was run on.

Solved

The solution was to use the key word "path" not "file"

Using Pipenv v 2022.9.20

resolvelib = {file = "./resolvelib", version = "*"}
would create an absolute path in Pipfile.lock

resolvelib = {path = "./resolvelib", version = "*"}
would create a relative path in Pipfile.lock
