Different behaviour on different platforms ("No git repository was found at ..." exception)

[butorov]

Hello,

I have a project with a structure like this one:

$ tree --dirsfirst -L 2
.
├── alembic
│   ├── README
│   ├── env.py
│   └── script.py.mako
├── app
...
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── main.py
├── Makefile
├── alembic.ini
├── poetry.lock
└── pyproject.toml

I update dependencies with the following command:
poetry install --no-interaction --no-ansi --no-root

On my laptop with macOS, it works well and installs the requirements into my virtual environment.

But, on a server, with Linux the same command fails with the following output:
No git repository was found at /srv/my_app/src/alembic.

Environment

On both platforms:

• Python version: 3.11.7
• Poetry version: 1.7.1

Question

I see the logic of why this error may occur, but why does the behavior vary from platform to platform?
