hatch is not discovered in shell or default Python (OS=Windows)

[arlowhite]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

On Windows, VSCode only finds hatch when it's installed with the hatch installer https://hatch.pypa.io/1.12/install/#gui-installer_1 This could be a barrier as it requires admin privileges.

Other methods of installing hatch are not discovered by VSCode and prevent VSCode from suggesting Hatch environments. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_88#_hatch-environment-discovery

Steps to reproduce:

1. pip install --user hatch hatch should work in PowerShell. if not, user may need to code $profile and add:

   $env:PATH += ";C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python312\Scripts"

I would expect VSCode to use hatch installations in this order

1. hatch in PowerShell PATH
2. hatch in the default Python installation

Alternatively, there should be Setting to specify path to hatch. Currently, search Settings for "hatch" shows nothing.

/cc @ofek @flying-sheep Would you be able to take a look at this since this is hatch related?

[flying-sheep]

Your shell’s environment differs from the environment GUI applications are started in.

To expand on that: VS Code doesn’t run in Powershell, it runs straight from the GUI, so adding to your $env:PATH in your Powershell profile doesn’t affect VS Code.

You need to have Hatch in a path seen by GUI software directly, e.g. by using the system settings or installing Hatch with a GUI installer (I think that works, but I didn‘t test it since I don’t have access to a windows system)

Hey @karthiknadig, this issue might need further attention.

@arlowhite, you can help us out by closing this issue if the problem no longer exists, or adding more information.

An alternate option is to open power shell first, add hatch to PATH, then launch code from that powershell terminal use VS Code CLI code ..
