pre-commit fails when pyproject.toml is in subdirectory

[wgiddens]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• Poetry version: 1.2.0-rc2

Issue

We are setting up the new pre-commit checks for our project. Our Python source code lives in a subfolder inside the main repo. The full path to pyproject.toml is <repo>/backend/src/pyproject.toml. The poetry checks fail because they can't find pyproject.toml in the root directory.

The pre-commit project does not support changing the working directory for hooks and will not add support. See pre-commit/pre-commit#1110 (comment)

pre-commit hooks can be configured to pass a matching filename argument, but poetry does not have a way to operate on anything but the current working directory.

Hey @wgiddens,

I'm closing this as a specialized duplicate of #2179.
