The package is not installed correctly with poetry on Mac M1

[attila-papai]

Hey,

I have a MacBook Pro M1 and when I try to install cuid package with poetry and use it, I get an error that the module cannot be found.

$> poetry add cuid
Using version ^0.3 for cuid

If I install it with pip it works, but my project uses poetry so can't just install it with pip:

$> pip install cuid

I suspect the main problem is that Poetry natively installs dependencies into a virtual environment, and you haven't activated it. If I use poetry run python to ensure the virtual environment is activated, I can't reproduce this on an M1 Macbook Pro:

❯ poetry init

This command will guide you through creating your pyproject.toml config.

Package name [foo]:
Version [0.1.0]:
Description []:  an example project
Author [None, n to skip]:  n
License []:  AGPL
Compatible Python versions [^3.11]:  >3.6

Would you like to define your main dependencies interactively? (yes/no) [yes] no
Would you like to define your development dependencies interactively? (yes/no) [yes] no
Generated file

[tool.poetry]
name = "foo"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "an example project"
authors = ["Your Name <you@example.com>"]
license = "AGPL"
readme = "README.md"

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = ">3.6"

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

Do you confirm generation? (yes/no) [yes] y

❯ poetry add cuid

I'm closing it as I'm not able to reproduce this, but please reopen if you still have this issue!
