python pip compile is rending absolute path of requirements.in file

Question

Python version: 3.12 pip-tools: 7.4.1

Project structure

/projectdir
------requirements/
------------requirements.in
------------requirements.txt
------------requirements-dev.in
------------requirements-dev.txt
------Makefile

Contents of requirements-dev.in

-r requirements.in
localstack
*******
*******

Makefile command:

pip-compile --no-emit-index-url requirements/requirements-dev.in --upgrade --resolver=backtracking --no-strip-extras

generated content of requirements-dev.txt

#
# This file is autogenerated by pip-compile with Python 3.12
# by the following command:
#
#    pip-compile --no-emit-index-url requirements/requirements-dev.in
#
annotated-types==0.7.0
    # via pydantic
attrs==25.3.0
    # via
    #   jsonschema
    #   referencing
aws-lambda-powertools==3.16.0
    # via
    #   -r /Users/abhkumar/repo/pegasus-fulfill-ingest/requirements/requirements.in
    #   ewflib

As you can see, under aws-lambda-powertools,

-r /Users/abhkumar/repo/pegasus-fulfill-ingest/requirements/requirements.in

I was expecting that it will print only

-r requirements.in

I have tried all possible options, but cant get it working, please help

try pip-compile --no-emit-index-url -c requirements/requirements-dev.in --upgrade --resolver=backtracking --no-strip-extras — sahasrara62

This doesn't look like it has anything to do with make or makefiles. Please check whether you can reproduce the issue by executing the troublesome command directly from a shell prompt. If so, then remove the [makefile] tag. If not, then add a minimal but complete makefile with which the issue can be reproduced. — John Bollinger

Additionally, the line you are talking about appears to be a comment. It should be safe to remove. Or, based on the docs, I think you could avoid the comment being generated at all by passing the --no-annotate option to pip-compile. That's not quite what you asked for, but perhaps it would serve the same purpose. — John Bollinger

The annotations are normalized in the latest releases. Use pip-tools >= 7.5.0. The paths are now relative if you use relative CLI arguments, and absolute if you don't. https://pip-tools.rtfd.io/en/stable/changelog/#v7-5-0
