Curious what bugs you have come across with poetry?

In the current version, 1.1.4, if your package has optional dependencies (AKA "extras"), the generated package metadata is incompatible with setuptools (specifically the packaging package, which can't parse the requirement specs generated by poetry), so I've had to stick with 1.0 for now.

I've encountered a few issues like this since I started using poetry 0.12.

Thanks for sharing, indeed that is very bad. Do you know if this bug is already reported?

Race conditions in the installer. The parallel installer must be disabled.

But generally I like poetry and I am also a contributor (--remove-untracked). Don't want to bash it to much.

I also like and use it and have been trying to compare it with pipenv(which we switched from). To be honest it has been nothing but very pleasant to use and I am surprised when people have issues(maybe we have those issues and I am not aware?).

I have not had any issues with installer race conditions, did I miss, was lucky or you had a special case it surfaced maybe?
