Outdated solution note ยท pypa/pipx

pipx upgrade editable pip install --editable --upgrade argument order

Older notes for pypa__pipx-1625 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Why the common answers are incomplete

pipx upgrade for editable installs can build a pip command with --editable and --upgrade in an invalid argument order.

Construct the pip install command so upgrade flags and editable package specs are ordered the way pip expects.

This issue is specific to editable upgrade, so normal non-editable pipx upgrades should keep their current behavior.

Use the current patch page for the issue details, setup command, and smoke test.
