devenv not respecting specified path if usedevelop = true

[schlamar]

Issue

devenv command does not create the virtual environment at the specified path if usedevelop = true is configured in tox.ini.

>tox devenv -e py39 .venv
...
ROOT: created development environment under {cwd}\.tox\py39

>tox devenv -e py39
...
ROOT: created development environment under {cwd}\.tox\py39

Environment

Provide at least:

• OS: Windows 10
• pip list of the host Python where tox is installed:

python.exe -m pip list

Minimal example

See commands above.

tox.ini

[tox]
envlist = py39


[testenv]
commands = py.test {posargs}
usedevelop = True
deps =
    pytest


[testenv:py39]
basepython = python3.9-32

setup.py

from setuptools import setup
setup(name='demo', version='1.0')

I can't seem to replicate this. Can you please post these outputs with verbose mode on tox devenv -vv?

[schlamar]

Other machine without Python 3.9 so little changes but still reproducible.

tox.ini

[tox]
envlist = py310


[testenv]
commands = py.test {posargs}
usedevelop = True
deps =
    pytest

Command tox devenv -e py310 -vv > log.txt 2>&1 log.txt

[schlamar]

Reproducible on WSL, too. With the smallest minimal example possible:

$ tox devenv
...
ROOT: created development environment under /mnt/c/Users/marcs/Desktop/tox-test/.tox/py

$ cat tox.ini
[testenv]
usedevelop = True

$ tox --version
4.2.2 from /home/marc/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tox/__init__.py
