Auto activate with profile not work

[gruiyuan]

In order to get the same experience as pyenv under linux, I used the method mentioned in the note. But it doesn't work.

I confirmed that there is a .python-version file in my directory, and the profile has been executed.

It work when I manually run command 'pyenv-venv init'

Did you add the command to your powershell profile as instructed in this section of the readme? https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win-venv#env-automatic-activation-using-python-version-file

Note: This only works if you open the shell in the current directory using "Open shell here". The CLI currently doesn't support auto activation if the user changes the directory. I could look into adding that feature but it would mean checking for a .python-version every time the user changes their directory. Not sure if that would make the shell slower. Something to look into.

I followed the Readme file and added the command in the profile. And I also noticed that the "open powershell window here" should be used. But it still does not initialize successfully, unless init is executed manually. Sorry for not describing clearly.

Here is a more detailed description.

In order to prove that the profile has been executed, and the 'pyenv-venv' command can be executed successfully, I wrote such a profile file.

And then, in the target directory, use "open powershell window here" to open a shell window.

As you see, the command pyenv-venv help outputs correctly.

But the python environment is not loaded successfully.

Next, I manually executed the command 'pyenv-venv init', then the python environment was initialized successfully.

Even if I add 'sleep 10' at the beginning of the profile file, it still have nothing change.

Oh, I know the reason.

The output of (Get-Location).Path in profile file is 'C:\windows\system32', which seems to be the default workdir of powershell. Not the current location where open the powershell window.

The output of (Get-Location).Path in profile file is 'C:\windows\system32', which seems to be the default workdir of powershell. Not the current location where open the powershell window.

Since the definition of the right-click shortcut key is in the registry:

Create a profile file for this, and it works.

$powershellDir = $((Get-Location).Path)

$workingDir = if ([Environment]::CommandLine -match '\b(set-location|cd|chdir\sl)\s+(-(literalpath|lp|path|PSPath)\s+)?(?<path>(?:\\").+?(?:\\")|"""[^"]+|''[^'']+|[^ ]+)') {
    $Matches.path -replace '^(\\"|"""|'')' -replace '\\"$'
  } else { # No Set-Location command passed, use the current dir.
    $PWD.ProviderPath
  }

Set-Location $workingdir; pyenv-venv init root

Set-Location $powershellDir

Thanks for all the investigation into this. I will look into this once I am back home.

The CLI is initializing the env correctly in my personal laptop but I tried it out in my work pc and it fails to activate. Need to check why its working as intended in my laptop.

@gruiyuan I pushed an update which adds a -debug flag so that we can see the environment values being set. It will help with debugging.

Update the CLI using: pyenv-venv update self Update the $profile: pyenv-venv init -debug

After that, when you open the shell, it should output the debug log.

Update regarding this. My work pc didnt have pyenv-venv init root in the powershell profile hence it was not automatically activating. So I will need to see your debug log as I mentioned above to investigate the issue.

Ok.

profile is

pyenv-venv init root -debug

When I open the shell by 'shift + right-clicking' in the working directory，hear is the debug log.

It is consistent with my previous analysis.

Are you still encountering this issue? I wasn't able to duplicate this in any of my systems.
