error message on malformed authors is not helpful

[seansfkelley]

• 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).

• OS version and name: macOS Mojave
• Poetry version: 1.0.5
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: see below

[tool.poetry]
name = "docs"
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
authors = ["[email protected]"]

Issue

When trying to install with the above project configuration, I get something like:

$ poetry install
Installing dependencies from lock file

No dependencies to install or update


[AttributeError]
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

As noted in #2263, Poetry expects the format author <email>. That's fine, but I had to run poetry install -v and read the implementation to realize that the problem was with the authors field. I won't try argue that it should accept plain emails here (though I personally think it should), but it definitely should try to be a bit more helpful with the messaging.

Hello @seansfkelley,

thanks for reporting and giving feedback 👍 However, this was reported already earlier in #1143 and a solution is in progress (#1935).

Hm, not sure how I didn’t turn that one up during search. Thanks!
