Relative local paths for dependencies

[lminer]

Problem description

I have a large monorepo with multiple sub-projects, each with their own pyproject.toml. Some of the subprojects depend on each other.

monorepo/
│
├── pyproject.toml         # Base pyproject.toml (for linting only)
├── libs/
│   ├── package_a/
│   │   ├── pyproject.toml  # pyproject.toml for package_a
│   │   ├── src/
│   │   │   └── package_a/
│   │   │       └── __init__.py
│   │   └── tests/
│   │       └── test_package_a.py
│   ├── package_b/
│   │   ├── pyproject.toml  # pyproject.toml for package_b
│   │   ├── src/
│   │   │   └── package_b/
│   │   │       └── __init__.py
│   │   └── tests/
│   │       └── test_package_b.py
│   └── package_c/
│       ├── pyproject.toml  # pyproject.toml for package_c
│       ├── src/
│       │   └── package_c/
│       │       └── __init__.py
│       └── tests/
│           └── test_package_c.py
│
└── other_dirs/            # Other directories in the monorepo

It would be nice to be able to have package A refer to a relative path to package B in its pyproject.toml. This is possible using hatch/uv, but I can't find any documentation to see if it can be done in pixi.

This can currently only be done for python projects using pypi-dependencies. See the following example: https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi/tree/main/examples/pypi-source-deps this also works for pyproject.toml. Also see: https://github.com/Deltares/Ribasim

What happens if the local project being linked to is itself a pixi project with conda dependencies? Will it properly install everything?

Ah no it does not indeed, that is feature that we are working on now called 'pixi build'.

Exciting! Is there an issue I can track?

Yes here: #1654

Closing this in favor of pixi build
