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 (
-vvvoption).OS version and name: MacOS 10.15.6
Poetry version: 1.1.0b2

Issue
Adding a URL dependency breaks the functionality of poetry show -l and poetry show -o, causing them both to have name-only output similar to bare poetry show.
