Having trouble getting types from editable dependencies

[dimaqq]

Baseline:

• my code
• uv pip install some_dep
• (venv) pyright my_code/some_file.py

This works fine, pyright resolved some_dep import; I can typing.reveal_type(some_dep.blah.blah).

I'm working on improving devx and trying to improve this dependency's type hints. So i'm trying:

• my code
• elsewhere:
  • git clone repo-for-some-dep
  • git switch -c my-branch
  • edit some stuff
• uv pip install -e /path/to/repo_for_some_dep
• (venv) pyright my_code/some_file.py

And pyright reports that import some_dep.blah cannot be resolved.

Meanwhile, code works at run time.

Am I doing something obviously wrong?
Is there something special to watch out for?

I am able to work around this by avoiding editable (for the dep):

Basically, doing uv pip install -e /path/to/some-dep I end up with this:

> pip freeze 
-e git+ssh://[email protected]/dimaqq/some-dep.git@50ad99...#egg=some_dep`

And somehow pyright has trouble with venv in this state.

If I however do uv pip install some_dep /path/to/some-dep

I end up with this:

> pip freeze
some_dep @ file:///code/some-dep

and pyright can find the types.
