poetry env use and poetry env remove are not working

Description

I have created two virtual environments using venv in my repository. There are two different sets of dependencies I need to work with for different branches of the code.

The first virtual environment is created by default. But when I try to switch to the other one (.venv_2), it doesn't raise any error but doesn't change the environment as well:

---

poetry env info

Output:

Virtualenv
Python:         3.12.2
Implementation: CPython
Path:           /path/to/project/.venv
Executable:     /path/to/project/.venv/bin/python
Valid:          True

Base
Platform:   darwin
OS:         posix
Python:     3.12.2
Path:       /path/to/python/versions/3.12.2
Executable: /path/to/python/versions/3.12.2/bin/python3.12

---

poetry env use  /path/to/project/.venv_2/bin/python

Output:

Using virtualenv:  /path/to/project/.venv # Wrong! It should have been using `.venv_2`, but it's not.

---

Also, poetry env remove is not working too:

poetry env remove /path/to/project/.venv/bin/python

Output:

Env .venv doesn't belong to this project.

Workarounds

No workaround! Right now I have to delete the .venv and recreate it every time I switch my branches.

You have misunderstood what the poetry env commands do - please read the docs. Perhaps virtualenvs.prefer-active-python is what you are after.
