How to show active python virtual environment in prompt?

[Tset-Noitamotua]

I have used below code (in file C:\tools\cmder\config\pyenv_prompt_config.lua) to display which virtual python env is activated. It's not my code, I have found it on Github or Stackoverflow and I have no clue about Lua :(

Could it be combined somehow with your cmder-powerline-prompt?

local clink_path_lua_file = clink.get_env('CMDER_ROOT')..'\\vendor\\clink-completions\\modules\\path.lua'
dofile(clink_path_lua_file)

function get_virtual_env(env_var)
    env_path = clink.get_env(env_var)
    if env_path then
        basen = exports.basename(env_path)
        return basen
    end
    return false
end

---
 -- add python virutual env name 
---
function conda_prompt_filter()
    -- add in python virtual env name
    local python_env = get_virtual_env('DEFAULT_ENV')
    if python_env then
        clink.prompt.value = string.gsub(clink.prompt.value, "λ", "["..python_env.."] λ")
    end
end

---
 -- add virtual env name 
---
function venv_prompt_filter()
    -- add in virtual env name
    local venv = get_virtual_env('VIRTUAL_ENV')
    if venv then
        clink.prompt.value = string.gsub(clink.prompt.value, "λ", "["..venv.."] λ")
    end
end

Thats how it looked:

Hi @Tset-Noitamotua This looks promising! You can register a function as a filter and assign it a rank, and Clink (which Cmder uses in the background) will apply this filter to the prompt. See this line in the powerline_prompt.lua file.

clink.prompt.register_filter(colorful_git_prompt_filter, 60)

Here colorful_git_prompt_filter is the function, and 60 is the rank. This way you can create one lua file for each group of filter that are related, and choose to apply them as you want. To activate a lua file, just place it in the %CMDER_ROOT%/config folder.

[Tset-Noitamotua]

I'll try it.

What is the rank for? Is it kind of a prioraty to which filter will apply?

[Tset-Noitamotua]

yep yep yep

... if I just could code as good as this looks - damn it!!! :-)))

Font name is (in case somebody cares) Roboto Mono Medium for Powerline, Size 14, Anti-aliasing=ClearType

[AmrEldib]

That's great @Tset-Noitamotua I suggest that this becomes its own plugin in a separate repo. This way, those who are interested in the Git integration get that only, and those interested in Python integration get that only. See the README for this project on how to easily install a plugin.

[Tset-Noitamotua]

I did a fork. New repo is here: cmder-powerline-venv-prompt

[mattdkerr]

@AmrEldib can we link out to their repository in the readme.md here?

[JorgeGRC]

Hi, I tried your solution @Tset-Noitamotua but unfortunately when I'm activating any of the virtualenvs I get this:

\powerline_venv_prompt.lua:193: attempt to index global 'exports' (a nil value)

Any idea what might be causing it?

[1600]

Up with JorgeGRC, debugging right now.

[Kbman99]

@JorgeGRC Did you ever figure out the cause? I can't seem to find the exports variable in any of the .lua files.

[Kbman99]

Fixed my issue. For anyone who may be running into the attempt to index global 'exports' (a nil value) . It seems that exports.basename(path) is a global function created in the cmder/vendor/clink-completions/modules/path.lua. I simple copied the function and modified it to be a locally defined function within the cmder/config/powerline_venv_prompt.lua file. Below are the two solutions I have found:

Solution 1: Add local exports = require('path') into the cmder/config/powerline_venv_prompt.lua file.

Solution 2: Insert this code below in the the cmder/config/powerline_venv_prompt.lua file to create a locally defined basename function.

function basename(path)
    local prefix = path
    local i = path:find("[\\/:][^\\/:]*$")
    if i then
        prefix = path:sub(i + 1)
    end
    return prefix
end

Then modify the line which is set to access the function as written here in the same filebasen = exports.basename(env_path) and replace it with basen = basename(env_path).

I'm sure there is another solution to the issue which seems to be causing the script to not be able to access the path.lua script which sets the exports object, but either of these fixed the issue for myself.

[steveoh]

so if cmder supports showing env's by default, and powerline breaks this feature and this enhancement no longer works... what is the proper solution?

this is my solution for conda

local function get_py_env(env_var)
    env = clink.get_env(env_var)
    if env then
        return env
    end

    return false
end

local function get_conda_env_filter()
    local env = get_py_env("CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV")

    if env then
        env = addTextWithColor("", env.." ", ansiFgClrYellow, ansiBgClrBlack)
        clink.prompt.value = string.gsub(clink.prompt.value, plc_prompt_lambSymbol, env..plc_prompt_lambSymbol)
    end

    return false
end

clink.prompt.register_filter(get_conda_env_filter, 100)

[xNinjaKittyx]

Is there a way to add virtualenv next to the git as another prompt module?

Also anyone have a working solution for pipenv (without the hash values)

[sn0rlacks]

So, Is this something that could work with the portable version?

[Tset-Noitamotua]

I have not tested it with the portable version.

@Tset-Noitamotua A simple creation of the pyenv_prompt_config.lua didn't do anything. No errors, and the env seems to have been activated, but theres no change in the console.

Im also using activate rather than workon... not sure if clink cares about that? Very unfamiliar with all this lua config.

[Tset-Noitamotua]

Me, too have no clue about lua :-) maybe the maintainer of the repo I forked from can help you.

Actually I switched to Linux cause I was tired of all the extra steps needed when it comes to setup all the cool stuff. It was always like: u see something cool on Mac or Linux then have to go and find a workaround to achive the same on Windows :-(
