UPDATE 1

Getting the warning even after removing --no-root

Answer 1

Finally find some ways to understand the docs saying.

My structure:

├── cmd
│   ├──__init__.py
│   ├── some_command.py
│   └── ...
├── pyproject.toml
└── ...

First you need to add the cmd as a package in the pyproject.toml file

[tool.poetry]
...
#package-mode = false
...
packages = [
    { include = "cmd" }
]
...
[tool.poetry.scripts]
seed = "cmd.some_command:main"

In case you set the package-mode to false, the script will not be installed when run poetry install. So a warning will display:

Warning: 'seed' is an entry point defined in pyproject.toml, but it's not installed as a script. You may get improper `sys.argv[0]`.

The support to run uninstalled scripts will be removed in a future release.

Run `poetry install` to resolve and get rid of this message.

But it will still run the command. Just remove the package-mode=false then install, the warning will disappear.

Hope everyone can fix this problem, as the scripts document on poetry as not so clear for everyone.
