"poetry self update" requires a pyproject.toml file #9964
Description
Description
When running "poetry self update" in a directory not containing a pyproject.toml file (such as the home directory), poetry quits with "Poetry could not find a pyproject.toml file in /home/srittau or its parents". It seems unnecessary to run self commands from a "real" project directory.
Workarounds
Running the self commands in any existing project directory. This is more difficult on a new system or installing poetry automatically (for example, using Ansible).
