How to points requirements in manifest.json to a github repo

Development

Hi,

Wanted to make some changes to the Renault integration. I copied everything to custom_components, changed the domain and some more and verified that I could load the integration and trigger actions.
I made some necessary changes to the renault-api python library, but how do I test the integration in the custom_component without first publishing the python package ?

I modified manifest.json and updated the requirements to:

"requirements": [
    "renault-api @ git+https://github.com/xxxxx/renault-api.git@85fd5a4d3460f1040b65fd90eed79c9feb2ecf7d"
  ],

However, when restarting HA it is not picking up the new version of the api. I’m sure the syntax is correct, because a pip install git+https:// is able to install the correct version.
How should i do this ?

Thx in advance !

I normally install the api into my dev environment with

pip install -e [path to api]

And set the new version in the manifest file. Then as you modify the api, it will update.

Thanks for your reply!

But how does that work ? Right now using the addon to develop the code. For this I would need to get into the docker container I guess ?
