Local dependencies are always installed in editable mode

[tamboles98]

Issue description

When installing a package to the environment from a local path using pipenv install ., the package is always installed in editable mode

Pipenv: 2024.0.1
Python: 3.12.4

Expected result

Running: pipenv install . should:

• Add the package in the current working directory (my_package going forward) to the pipfile, without the editable flag
• Add my_package in the pipfile lock, without the editable flag
• Install my_package in the virtual environment in non editable mode

Actual result

Running pipenv install .:

• Adds the package in the current working directory (my_package going forward) to the pipfile, without the editable flag ✅
• Adds my_package in the pipfile lock, without the editable flag ✅
• Installs my_package in the virtual environment in editable mode ❌

Steps to replicate

1. Have an installable python project in the current working directory
2. Run pipenv install .
3. Run pipenv shell
4. Run pip show my_package (with the name of the package installed)

Name: my_package
Version: 0.1.0
Summary: Sample project
Home-page: 
Author: 
Author-email:
License: 
Location: .../.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages
Editable project location: .../project_directory (This does not appear if the package is in non-editable mode)
Requires: 
Required-by:

5. Open a python shell and:

import my_package
print(my_package.__file__) # Output: '/home/sacebell/notebooks/trobleshoot_pipenv/my_package/__init__.py'
# Code is not being loaded from the site_packages folder

Notes

• This behavior also happens if the virtual environment is not in the project itself
• This behavior also happens if the installation path is absolute and does not point to the current working directory
• Manually editing the Pipfile to have my-package = {file = ".", editable=false}, then running pipenv lock and pipenv sync does not fix the issue
• Running pipenv install -e . --verbose gives:

Installing dependencies from Pipfile.lock (6a1f4b)...
Writing supplied requirement line to temporary file: '-e .'
Install Phase: Editable Requirements
Preparing Installation of '-e .'
