Installing siuba into a venv keeps that Positron interpreter from starting

System details:

Positron and OS details:

Positron Version: 2024.12.0 (Universal) build 41 Code - OSS Version: 1.93.0 Commit: 39536c265d6828a68291984d0d359170316d055e Date: 2024-11-18T02:47:29.611Z Electron: 30.4.0 Chromium: 124.0.6367.243 Node.js: 20.15.1 V8: 12.4.254.20-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 24.0.0

Interpreter details:

So far I have mostly been trying this with pyenv and 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12.

Describe the issue:

If I install siuba into a venv, then I cannot start that venv in Positron. I see the "HTTP request failed" error:

If I take a previously existing venv and I additionally install siuba into it, then that venv no longer can start in Positron and it is busted.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Take a currently existing venv and activate it
2. pip install siuba
3. Try to choose this venv in Positron
4. Be sad 😭

Expected or desired behavior:

The venv should start in Positron. Do we have incompatible requirements?

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

The "HTTP request failed" error is in the Extension Host channel. Also I see "Starting language runtime failed. Reason: HTTP request failed" in the Developer Tools.

Not only siuba I think. I have the same problem HTTP request failed sometimes when working with .venv in the newest version

@ntluong95 Do you have any examples or steps that cause it to happen for you?

[ntluong95]

I don't have time to make a reproducible example but here is what I have

My pyproject.toml

It is always unreliable to let Positron start Python in my computer (Windows), the alternative Ctrl + Shift + p -> Select Python interpreter works more stable for me. The UI usually doesn't help
