Having an Issue running Tox

[JHowell45]

Whenever I try to run pipenv run tox it tries to run /venv/bin/python -m pipenv graph. Basically the same as running pipenv inside pipenv failing because pipenv isn't a dependency. I have a temporary work around by installing pipenv as a --dev dependency, but was wondering if this was an issue with how tox gets executed from within pipenv due to how tox-pipenv works?

This plugin should be used outside of pipenv. Don’t use pipenv run tox because it’ll cause the loop you saw. Just call tox within the venv

[JHowell45]

So should I run something pipenv shell --> tox or just run tox from the application directory?

[JHowell45]

nm I found out haha, I need to run pipenv shell and then tox. Why is that by the way if you don't mind me asking?

[tonybaloney]

Pipenv doesn’t have a Python API (by design) so this plugin has to call it on the command line and also set a collection of environment variables to make it behave in a specific way.

Ahh ok thank you. For some reason now when running pipenv run tox it works, i think it was due to when I ran pipenv shell, tox it may have fixed something which is weird, from now on I'll switch to using pipenv shell, tox
