Description

  • [X ] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
  • [ X] I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.

Feature Request

In pyproject.toml there is a description field in the [tool.poetry] section. This is required.

It would be a good sanity check to flag to the user (either after a poetry build or before a poetry publish) when the field is empty.

Research direction

Start by tracing the validation performed by poetry build and poetry publish for the [tool.poetry] section in pyproject.toml. Determine where an empty description should be reported, then add coverage showing that an empty field is flagged during the selected command.
