pipenv install -r dir/requirements.txt does not actually install the requirements

[frickm]

Be sure to check the existing issues (both open and closed!), and make sure you are running the latest version of Pipenv.

It happens with pipenv 2024.4.0

Issue description

On a jenkins-server, we want to create a venv from another directory (not the current working directory). So when I run the followi
pipenv install -r dir/requirements.txt a virtualenv is created but the actual packages are not installed.
requirements.txt

If I do the same locally on my Mac, I get the following:

To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell.
Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

After a pipenv shell and a pip list I see that no dependencies are installed.

Our logs show that exactly the same command worked for pipenv version 2024.1.0.

Expected result

I expected the venv being installed in my working directory together with all the requirements specified.

Actual result

An empty venv.

Steps to replicate

Provide the steps to replicate (which usually at least includes the commands and the Pipfile).

This should be replicable on all machines (the machine where it happened as a debian with python 3.9 - locally I'm on a mac with python 3.13.0
