`Fatal error in launcher` error when running test. #581

Open simonrp84 opened 1 year ago

simonrp84 commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug When trying to run the example script listed in the readme (scalene test/testme.py) I get the following error:

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"D:\bld\scalene_1673046942881\_h_env\python.exe"  "C:\Users\Simon\miniconda3\Scripts\scalene.exe" test/testme.py': The system cannot find the file specified.

To Reproduce 1) Create a new conda environment and install scalene. 2) Run the test script: scalene test/testme.py 3) Error is raised.

However, the code works correctly if I install Scalene from github using pip, so this appears to be an issue with the conda build of the library.

Expected behavior Scalene to run correctly.

I had the exact same behavior after installing using conda.

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"D:\bld\scalene_1685976958479\_h_env\python.exe" "C:\Users\tj\anaconda3\envs\test2\Scripts\scalene.exe" --help': The system cannot find the file specified.

OS: Windows 11 Verion Python 3.9.16

Following @simonrp84's advice, I uninstalled and reinstalled using pip. Works now.
