Description
- Poetry version: 1.3.2
- Python version: 3.10.8
- OS version and name: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
- pyproject.toml: pyproject.toml
- I am on the latest stable Poetry version, installed using a recommended method.
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
- I have consulted the FAQ and blog for any relevant entries or release notes.
- If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (
-vvvoption) and have included the output below.
Issue
I am not able to run or install any poetry self commands. I followed the installation instructions exactly and I am able to setup poetry and use it normally except for any self commands. This is my ubuntu machine and previously I have done the same in windows and I had no issues there. In the windows machine I have the same toml file. I did reinstall poetry again but the issue still persists. I am not sure how it can be reproduced as I have not done anything out of the ordinary. I was trying to install poetry self add "poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]" and that's when I noticed this issue.
Attaching the complete output log, when I run poetry self show plugins -vvv

Research direction
Start by reproducing poetry self show plugins -vvv and the reported poetry self add "poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]" command on the stated Ubuntu and Python versions. Read the linked pyproject.toml and err_output.txt alongside the self-command entry points; done means the self commands no longer fail with the dynamic-fields error.
