Solver fails when dependency has multiple (constrained) dependency definitions for same package

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 (-vvv option).

OS version and name: Fedora 35
Poetry version: 1.1.8 (on host, installed from Fedora repo/RPM) and 1.1.13 (in container to test with latest version, installed via pip)
Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file:

Just including the file (which is the output of a simple `poetry init` accepting all defaults):

[tool.poetry]
name = "test"
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
authors = ["Your Name <you@example.com>"]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.10"

[tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=1.0.0"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

Issue

When trying to poetry add psychopy, which currently (rightfully) selects version 2022.1.2, the solver bails out:

Using version ^2022.1.2 for PsychoPy

  Because psychopy (2022.1.2) depends on both python-vlc (>=3.0.12118) and python-vlc (3.0.11115), psychopy is forbidden.                                                                                                                     
  So, because no versions of psychopy match >2022.1.2,<2023.0.0                                                                                                                                                                               
   and test depends on PsychoPy (^2022.1.2), version solving failed.

(verbose backtrace below)

This is (likely) caused by a bit of a weird dependency listing for python-vlc in the package (from https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/blob/2022.1.2/setup.cfg):

...
python-vlc <= 3.0.11115; platform_system == "Windows"
python-vlc >= 3.0.12118; platform_system != "Windows"
...
python-vlc >= 3.0.12118; platform_system != "Windows"
python-vlc == 3.0.11115; platform_system == "Windows"
...

Of course this reduces to

python-vlc == 3.0.11115; platform_system == "Windows"
python-vlc >= 3.0.12118; platform_system != "Windows"

and indeed, when making this change in a local fork and poetry add'ing this directory, poetry is able to resolve all dependencies and install the package.

Hence, it appears odd is going on when the same package is declared as a dependency with platform constraints multiple times.

PKG: unify `python-vlc` dependency definition

I'm having a similar (but less easily fixable) issue with installing different versions of numpy depending on the python version (^1.22.0 on >= 3.8, <1.22.0 on 3.7).

The issue can be seen here, which is part of this commit to this pull request to pyserde.

The current version of this test (in the links above) is

numpy = [
    { version = "<1.22.0", markers = "python_version ~= '3.7' and (extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all')", optional = true },
    { version = "^1.22.0", markers = "(python_version ~= '3.8' or python_version ~= '3.9' or python_version ~= '3.10') and (extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all')", optional = true },
]

But I've also tried splitting up the python versions to separate lines, as well as using, e.g.,

numpy = [
    { version = "<1.22.0", python = "3.7", markers = "extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all'", optional = true },
    { version = "^1.22.0", python = "3.8", markers = "extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all'", optional = true },
    { version = "^1.22.0", python = "3.9", markers = "extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all'", optional = true },
    { version = "^1.22.0", python = "3.10", markers = "extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all'", optional = true },
]

When running update, poetry attempts to install two versions of numpy (1.21.6 and 1.22.3) simultaneously, at least with the first example. With other variations, the behavior varies, but is never what I want (1.21.x on 3.7, 1.22.x on >3.8)

If you feel this is a different issue, please let me know and I'll open a new issue.

Your first example is not solvable. Unfortunately, poetry solves it anyway. From PEP 440:

~=3.1: version 3.1 or later, but not version 4.0 or later.

Thus, numpy < 1.22 is required for python 3.7, 3.8 and so on. However, numpy >= 1.22 is required for python 3.8, 3.9, ... That's a conflict! At the moment poetry is not good at handling multiple constraints with overlapping markers. There is already an issue about that: #5066.

Your second example looks better but is running into this issue: #3444

Your first example is not solvable. Unfortunately, poetry solves it anyway. From PEP 440:

Thanks--I had forgotten the details of ~. Updating it to

numpy = [
    { version = "<1.22.0", markers = "python_version ~= '3.7.0' and (extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all')", optional = true },
    { version = "^1.22.0", markers = "python_version ~= '3.8' and (extra == 'numpy' or extra == 'all')", optional = true },
]

seems like it should work, but it still tries to to upgrade to 1.22 on python 3.7, despite the poetry.lock file containing

[[package]]
name = "numpy"
version = "1.21.1"
description = "NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python."
category = "main"
optional = false
python-versions = ">=3.7"

[[package]]
name = "numpy"
version = "1.21.6"
description = "NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python."
category = "main"
optional = false
python-versions = ">=3.7,<3.11"

[[package]]
name = "numpy"
version = "1.22.3"
description = "NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python."
category = "main"
optional = false
python-versions = ">=3.8"

I'll also note that optional should be true...

Considering your updated example without any other dependencies everything seems fine. That's what I get when running poetry lock:

[[package]]
name = "numpy"
version = "1.21.6"
description = "NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python."
category = "main"
optional = true
python-versions = ">=3.7,<3.11"

[[package]]
name = "numpy"
version = "1.22.3"
description = "NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python."
category = "main"
optional = true
python-versions = ">=3.8"

I tried poetry install --extras numpy with Python 3.7 and 3.9 and it works as expected (1.21.6 for 3.7 and 1.22.3 for 3.9).

The optional = false and the third numpy version comes from the dev dependency numpy = "*". However, even with this third entry and optional = false I can only observe numpy 1.21.6 (and no other version) being installed for Python 3.7.

Thanks. I'll try to explore further why I'm getting different behavior.

Just to check, what version of poetry are you using? I'm using 1.1.13.

I used 1.1.13, too.

@radoering

@radoering the numpy = "*" dev dependency was the problem. You mentioned that it worked for you, and maybe it does when starting from scratch. When I ran poetry update numpy, however, it attempted to install two versions of numpy.

That said, it doesn't make sense that I have "*" as a dev dependency for python 3.7, despite the restrictions above. So this was my bad. Thanks for your help.
