requirements.txt must be in the same directory that is being scanned about deptry

awesome that works, thank you

Thanks for raising this issue and the clear screenshot, will look into it right now!

I found the problem, which is this line of code:

https://github.com/fpgmaas/deptry/blob/main/deptry/dependency_specification_detector.py#L61

This should be changed to

if os.path.isfile(self.requirements_txt):

I will fix this ASAP.

Additionally, deptry expects all options as relative to the first argument, or in your case crop. So in your case, it would work with

deptry . -rt etc/requirements.txt --extend-exclude some_dir,some_file

Where some_dir and some_file are directories that should not be scanned.

I can see that this is a bit confusing, and it's also poorly documented. I think that the way you are trying to use it actually makes more sense. I will consider changing this as well.

gotcha, thanks for the explanation!
