Rendering qmd (button/command) suddenly leads to ModuleNotFoundError

ifateri commented 1 year ago

Bug description

Hello,

I've been working on a qmd file with Python only in VS Code (Windows 10.0.19044) for quite some time, but am suddenly running into ModuleNotFoundError errors when trying to render the qmd file (either via button or via terminal with quarto render file.qmd) despite no changes in my project folder.

I've noticed that pressing the render button starts either quarto render file.qmd or quarto preview file.qmd and I don't understand why this is or when to expect which command.

Strangely if I manually run quarto preview file.qmd via terminal it seems to fully render the report and after that I can use the render button and the manual render command?

Edit: it seems to be quite random as quarto preview can also lead to the error..?

I encountered a similar issue, and I solved it, or I think so, by

creating and activating a new conda env,
installing all the python packages used in the qmd file, and
rendering the qmd file via quarto preview hello.qmd with the newly created conda env activated.

Hope this helps.

@ifateri Did you solve your problem? Do you still have the issue with Quarto 1.3?

@hopezh Are you suggesting/saying, the issue comes from the Python environment?

hopezh commented 1 year ago

@mcanouil I'm not sure if it's related to the specific "messy" Python environment I have. I just know that I'll have this problem if I use the base environment of conda even if it has all the modules installed.

Would you be able to give the steps to reproduce the issue?
