My issue is that when I execute poetry install, poetry update or poetry lock the process keeps running indefinitely.

I tried using the -vvv flag to get output of what's happening and it looks like it gets stuck forever in the first install.

My connection is good and all packages that I tried installing exist.

I use version 1.2.1 but I cannot upgrade to newer versions because the format of the .lock file is different and our pipeline fails.

    `poetry cache clear --all pypi` and `poetry cache clear --all _default_cache` did it for me. – alextsil Jun 19 '23 at 08:50
  • It cloud be related to the parallel installer. Try: ```poetry config experimental.new-installer false``` – Lucas Jun 29 '23 at 18:00
  • OS: Mac 13.3 Python: 3.8 I ran the below two commands and it worked: `poetry cache clear pypi --all` `poetry cache clear _default_cache --all` – Mahima Aug 04 '23 at 08:22

I found a clue in an issue on the GitHub repo.

If you are using Linux you must delete all .lock files in the .cache/pypoetry dir in your user home directory.

find ~/.cache/pypoetry -name '*.lock' -type f -delete

If the directory does not exist maybe is in another location.

Then I recommend removing the generated .lock file in the project you were doing the installation.

Another possibility is a corrupted artifact cache. (Source)

You can remove all the virtual environments, clear the cache, and delete the contents of the poetry artifacts directory using the following:

poetry env remove --all
poetry cache clear --all .
rm -rf $(poetry config cache-dir)/artifacts

Additionally, you could also delete the poetry.lock file and try poetry install again.
