POETRY_CACHE_DIR or cache-dir config are not used at all. #2445
Description
- I am on the latest Poetry version.
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
- If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (
-vvvoption).
- OS version and name: Windows 10
- Poetry version: 1.0.5
- Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: https://gist.github.com/mdgilene/0da1568f8ac90615e89cd1331115d80a
Issue
Setting the cache-dir location using either the environment variable POETRY_CACHE_DIR or with poetry config cache-dir /path/to/new/cache does not work. Poetry still uses the default location C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache.
This will not work for me as there are size constraints on my user profile directory. Beacuse of this I need to relocate this directory to another drive.
I believe this to be cause by the fact that the environment/config settings are never read when determining the cache location.
poetry/utils/appdirs.py
def user_cache_dir(appname):
r"""
Return full path to the user-specific cache dir for this application.
"appname" is the name of application.
Typical user cache directories are:
macOS: ~/Library/Caches/<AppName>
Unix: ~/.cache/<AppName> (XDG default)
Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\<AppName>\Cache
On Windows the only suggestion in the MSDN docs is that local settings go
in the `CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA` directory. This is identical to the
non-roaming app data dir (the default returned by `user_data_dir`). Apps
typically put cache data somewhere *under* the given dir here. Some
examples:
...\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<ProfileName>\Cache
...\Acme\SuperApp\Cache\1.0
OPINION: This function appends "Cache" to the `CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA` value.
