"pipenv requires an #egg fragment for version controlled dependencies" warning when installing the BlueJeans meeting API client

bluejeans, egg, pip, pipenv, python

Solution

Martijn Pieters in How to determine the name of an egg for a Python package on Github? describes how to determine the egg: look up the `name` argument to the `setup()` function in the package's `setup.py`. From https://github.com/bluejeans/api-rest-meetings/blob/master/libs/python/setup.py, this is `BlueJeansMeetingsRestApi` in this case. So the following works:

Problem

Adapting the instructions from https://github.com/bluejeans/api-rest-meetings/tree/master/libs/python#pip-install, in a `pipenv shell` I'm trying to run ``` pipenv install git+https://github.com/bluejeans/api-rest-meetings.git@pip-repo ``` However, I'm getting the following error message: ⠋WARNING: pipenv requires an #egg fragment for version controlled dependencies. Please install remote dependency in the form git+https://github.com/bluejeans/api-rest-meetings.git#egg=. Here is the full command and response: ``` (lucy-web-CVxkrCFK) bash-3.2$ pipenv install git+https://github.com/bluejeans/api-rest-meetings.git@pip-repo Installing git+https://github.com/bluejeans/api-rest-meetings.git@pip-repo... ⠋WARNING: pipenv requires an #egg fragment for version controlled dependencies. Please install remote dependency in the form git+https://github.com/bluejeans/api-rest-meetings.git#egg=<package-name>. ABORTING INSTALL... You will have to reinstall any packages that failed to install. You may have to manually run pipenv lock when you are finished. ``` How do I get the `egg` for this package? Or even better, how could I disbable the requirement to specify an egg?
