Unable to specify the installation of the current directory, which causes a ModuleNotFoundError

I am trying to deploy a Streamlit dashboard to Connect, but get an error.

Setup

I have the following directory structure:

dashboard
`-- app.py         # imports from my_awesome_package
src
|-- my_awesome_package
|    |-- data.py
|    `-- views.py
requirements.txt   # Specify requirements for my_awesome_package
pyproject.toml     # Specify installation of my_awesome_package

Deployment

Deployment happens in two steps:

1. rsconnect write-manifest streamlit --entrypoint=dashboard/app.py .
2. rsconnect deploy manifest manifest.json --title "My Dashboard"

The Error

Once deployed, I open the application and get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'my_awesome_package'

The issue

I believe the issue is as follows: The connect server does not install packages from the local directory (through setup.py or pyproject.toml.), but only what is in requirements. In the manifest.json, the files from my_awesome_package are specified, but they cannot be found because the package has not been installed.

Question

How can I specify through rsconnect that the current directory should also be installed? Could this be an update to the manifest, or is there another way of doing it?

Inizia riproducendo il deployment con dashboard/app.py, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml e i due comandi rsconnect mostrati. Esamina manifest.json per determinare come viene rappresentato il package locale e confrontalo con il comportamento del deployment. Il lavoro è completato quando il dashboard distribuito può importare my_awesome_package dalla directory corrente senza dipendere dalla copia manuale dei file del package.
