Description

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

Feature

Add a way to ensure a built wheel or sdist file is actually resolvable by poetry. I'm unsure of the implementation detail, it could be:

poetry build --check-resolvable

Or

poetry check

Or it could be a default on poetry build that warns you when the built file is not resolvable.

Why

This bug caused me a lot of headaches when trying to understand why poetry version resolving was failing. Having this check/warning would be of great help.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked issue #6519 and the existing poetry build and poetry check entry points. Define whether the check belongs in the build command, a separate command, or a warning, and verify that built wheel and sdist files are resolvable by Poetry when done.
