Local Debug Failing - Can't find Streamlit or Flask Modules

[cmw2]

Describe the bug

Using the VS Code debug options to launch the app components is failing. When launching the Admin site get message: "No module named streamlit". When launching Frontend (api) get message: "No module named flask"

Expected behavior

Expect the launch commands to work and be in debug mode in VS Code.

Debugging information

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone code into WSL (I'm on windows machine)
2. Open via "code ." in WSL
3. Reopen in container
4. azd auth / up (and 2nd deploy of azd deploy adminweb as discussed in another issue to get it working)
5. Go to debug tab in vscode, and try "Launch Admin Site". Also try "Launch Frontend (api). (Launch Frontend (UI) works but it fails since the api isn't running.)

Hi Chris, I have actually seen this before. I don't suppose you used that button "Open in DevContainers" in the Local Setup instructions? I think that does something weird for Windows machines. I think I need to update those instructions if you did!

• Open WSL and navigate to a linux directory not a Windows /mnt/c location
• clone
• Open with code .
• before you get to azd up if flask doesn't work in a Terminal in your devcontainer - we have that to fix first!

Happy to share screen at some point if you like

Actually, no I didn't use that link in the docs. I did the steps as you mentioned using WSL.

Hi @cmw2, could you try the following:

• In VS Code, press F1 to open the Command Palette
• Enter Python: Select Interpreter
• Ensure that the Virtual Environment from Poetry is selected. It will have a name like chat-with-your-data-solution-accelerator-PQGzWDPx-py3.11
• Try again

That was it. I should have caught that, doh!
