poetry seems to ignore virtualenvs.create

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: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Docker python:3.6)
Poetry version: 1.1.6

Issue

I recently recreated my Docker images, and replaced the old get-poetry.py with install-poetry.py, and suddenly my entry command was not working anymore, failing with ModuleNotFoundError.

My poetry install invocations correctly output Skipping virtualenv creation, as specified in config file., which is what I asked via poetry config virtualenvs.create false, but by looking around I found them being placed in the POETRY_HOME/venv folder, and therefore not being found by my simple python -m entrypoint:

root@71978f3d0878:/code/src# ls /opt/poetry/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/
Babel-2.9.1.dist-info			       blackd				factory_boy-2.12.0.dist-info	     lockfile			      pyOpenSSL-20.0.1.dist-info	 shellingham-1.4.0.dist-info
CacheControl-0.12.6.dist-info		       blib2to3				faker				     lockfile-0.12.2.dist-info	      pyasn1				 six-1.16.0.dist-info

Am I doing something wrong, or did something break with some of the updates I skipped?

Thanks

I still encounter this problem with the latest 1.2.0a2 release, which should contain the fix? OS of the Docker image Debian GNU/Linux 10 \n \l

FROM tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn:python3.8

# get DEV argument from docker-compose file
ARG DEV

# Install Poetry
RUN curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/install-poetry.py | POETRY_HOME=/opt/poetry python - --preview && \
    cd /usr/local/bin && \
    ln -s /opt/poetry/bin/poetry && \
    poetry config virtualenvs.create false

COPY ./pyproject.toml ./poetry.lock* /app/

RUN if [ "$DEV" = "1" ] ; then poetry install --no-root ; else poetry install --no-root --no-dev ; fi

when doing poetry install, poetry says that it skips virtual env creation (as defined by the config), but still installs all packages to $POETRY_HOME/venv/lib and not to /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages which is used by the system python interpreter and where it is installed when using the get-poetry.py script.

running python from anywhere else than in $POETRY_HOME/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ will not let me import the installed dependencies specified in pyproject.toml.

@sdispater Yes, version 1.1.8 fixes the issue, thanks. Will this be included in 1.2 at some point as well?
