WSL: pipenv shell does not launch a subshell #3489

markfaine · 2019-01-29T16:35:49Z

Issue description

WSL on Windows 10 with Ubuntu 18.04
On WSL the command 'pipenv shell' does not launch a subshell or activate the environment. Due to #3488, I had to uninstall all Windows versions of Python to have success at creating the environment.

Expected result

Launching subshell in virtual environment…
(env-setup) mfaine@MSSLW17050462:/mnt/c/Users/mfaine/Desktop/env-setup$

Actual result

Launching subshell in virtual environment…
mfaine@MSSLW17050462:/mnt/c/Users/mfaine/Desktop/env-setup$

Typing exit here will close the terminal. It is possible to to manually activate the environment without launching a subshell with:

source $(pipenv --venv)/bin/activate

pipenv shell has always worked as it should for me on WSL, with or without python installed in Windows, on three different computers.

Hi. I might have missed something, but I'm not sure this is a duplicate of #3807.
I'm having a very similar problem as OP and #3807 does not look like it is related.

I'm able to create a venv with pipenv on WSL (even with the interpreter and the venv itself being in Windows paths), but I can't activate the environment (just like OP).

Creating the environment succeeds:

pipenv --support also breaks with a weird error:

@DeepSpace2 you should not use the Windows Python installation under WSL, although it appears to work correctly.

DeepSpace2 · 2020-11-05T02:51:44Z

@frostming I see. Thanks for the clarification!

ghost · 2020-11-05T07:08:09Z

I hope you have solved your problem @DeepSpace2. If not, try updating your pipenv version from 2018.11.26. For instance, the latest (as of right now) is 2020.11.4.

I just tested with the WSL Python 3 and Python 2 distribution under openSUSE and it worked fine. However, the release candidate version of Python your WSL distro has is suspicious... so that could indeed be the problem.

pyenv could solve your Python versioning issues.

DeepSpace2 · 2020-11-05T10:35:53Z

@bromps I 'solved' it by recreating the environment with the WSL's interpreter as was suggested, as I'm already using pipenv 2020.11.4.
