Pyright unable to find venv/pythonPath with WSL2

[didimelli]

Hello, I am using SublimeText 4, installed on windows, to open a WSL2 project.

All my venvs are in the proj root dir, in the folder .venv (this means that python is at .venv/bin/python).

My pyright settings are the following:

{
    "settings": {
        "python.venvPath": "./.venv",
        "python.pythonPath": "./.venv/bin/python",
    }
}

When I open the log panel, what I see is this:

LSP-pyright: Pyright language server 1.1.222 starting
LSP-pyright: Server root directory: C:\Users\davide.melli\AppData\Local\Sublime Text\Package Storage\LSP-pyright\14.17.6\language-server\node_modules\pyright/dist/

LSP-pyright: File or directory "\Ubuntu-20.04\home\didi\leaf\leaf-radio" does not exist.

Is there any way to make Pyright aware of the WSL mount and resolve the paths correctly?

Are you opening ST4 from within the WSL2 environment? If so, can you open the console with View > Show Console and run the following in the console: view.file_name()

[didimelli]

Yep, to open it i do /mnt/c/Program\ Files/Sublime\ Text/subl.exe .

About the console output, i get nothing:

About the console output, i get nothing:

What if you open a py file?

[didimelli]

Oh, sorry, so silly of me. Here the output with a .py file:

I guess WSL2 path handling is broken (did that ever work?). I would suggest you open the folder from ST4 started in a regular Windows environment.

[didimelli]

If i open ST4, then menu->file->Open Folder->search a WSL folder from the explorer I get the same exact behaviour.

I can reproduce this but I didn't work under WSL2.

Fwiw, I tried this with VSCode + Pyright/Pylance emits the same error. Something like

LSP-pyright: venvPath \Ubuntu-20.04\home\didi\leaf\leaf-radio\.venv is not a valid directory.
LSP-pyright: stubPath \Ubuntu-20.04\home\didi\leaf\leaf-radio\typings is not a valid directory.

VSCode has this extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl which allows you to seamlessy use the linux filesystem.

Here some logs from the LSP:

VSCode has this extension marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl which allows you to seamlessy use the linux filesystem.

Not open sourced so we have no idea what it does. Without its aid, VSCode just emits the same error message. I.e., something like

LSP-pyright: venvPath \Ubuntu-20.04\home\didi\leaf\leaf-radio\.venv is not a valid directory.
LSP-pyright: stubPath \Ubuntu-20.04\home\didi\leaf\leaf-radio\typings is not a valid directory.

as the docs says:

With VS Code and the Remote - WSL extension combined, VS Code’s UI runs on Windows, and all your commands, extensions, and even the terminal, run on Linux. You get the full VS Code experience, including autocomplete and debugging, powered by the tools and compilers installed on Linux.

I think this should happen in every non-VSCode editors. Maybe there is already a solution in them (neovim, etc...).

[didimelli]

I am quite sure that the Intellij suite has a similar solution, but unfortunately not open source!

\\wsl.localhost\<distro>\... is the path windows applications can use to access WSL2 filesystem. It doesn't matter whether they are executed directly from Windows or from within WSL2.

A path translation algorithm just needs to be aware of all possible combinations of running [ Linux | Windows ] App in [ WSL | Windows ] accessing [ Linux | Windows ] paths.

Some inspiration may be taken from https://github.com/SublimeText/WslBuild/blob/ebf26d251d5aeab99f515fca3c5947314c5841aa/plugin.py#L260-L276. Those lines have also found their way into GitGutter, to enable it to use Git for Windows to diff files located within WSL2 filesystem.
