Getting Cannot execute /home/user/.poetry/bin/poetry error when configuring the poetry environment

[michaelwiles]

Describe the bug
When I setup my poetry environment it correctly auto detects the poetry executable but it says it is not executable. The file is there and it is "executable".

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add environment
2. Select poetry environment
3. set correct poetry executable
4. See error

Expected behavior
That the poetry executable gets correctly set.

Environments (please complete the following information):

• IDE: PyCharm Community 2021.1 EAP (same issue with 2020.3)
• OS: ubuntu 20.10
• Poetry Version [e.g. 1.0.8 ]
• Plugin version 1.1.5

Additional context
This is the relevant method AFAICT

fun validatePoetryExecutable(poetryExecutable: @SystemDependent String?): ValidationInfo? {
    val message = if (poetryExecutable.isNullOrBlank()) {
        "Poetry executable is not found"
    }
    else {
        val file = File(poetryExecutable)
        when {
            !file.exists() -> "File ${file.absolutePath} is not found"
            !file.canExecute() || !file.isFile -> "Cannot execute ${file.absolutePath}"
            else -> null
        }
    }

    return message?.let { ValidationInfo(it) }
}

@michaelwiles
Thank you for creating this issue.
I will investigate the problem.

[michaelwiles]

@koxudaxi I know its a little off topic but...

When I run with ./gradlew clean runIde it works. I can use the plugin successfully.

But when I do a ./gradlew clean buildPlugin after having commented out the code that causes this problem and then go to pycharm and manually install from file system the "old code" is still present - install from build/distribution.

the other question is how do I log so that I can do trouble shooting?

Currently I've removed the rogue code and am running pycharm and running with the first option so I can work. Thank you for this plugin.

I don't know why the behavior. I often run ./grealdew clean without buildPlugin. And delete the build directory 😅

How did you install poetry?
And, Would you please tell me the permission on the executable?

[koxudaxi]

I tested the plugin on macOS and Windows10.
I may test it on Ubuntu or other distros.

Also, I guess that the condition is valid.

Also, This code came from the pipenv integration of PyCharm.

fun validatePipEnvExecutable(pipEnvExecutable: @SystemDependent String?): ValidationInfo? {
  val message = if (pipEnvExecutable.isNullOrBlank()) {
    PyBundle.message("python.sdk.pipenv.executable.not.found")
  }
  else {
    val file = File(pipEnvExecutable)
    when {
      !file.exists() -> PyBundle.message("python.sdk.file.not.found", file.absolutePath)
      !file.canExecute() || !file.isFile -> PyBundle.message("python.sdk.cannot.execute", file.absolutePath)
      else -> null
    }
  }

I'm also getting this error.

• Ubuntu 20.10
• Poetry 1.1.5, installed poetry with curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python - as recommended in the official docs
• pyenv global is 3.9.0
• PyCharm is version 2020.3.3, installed via snap with classic confinement

I can run /home/ricardo/.poetry/bin/poetry just fine from a shell:

[koxudaxi]

Thank you for giving me the detail.
I'm installing Ubuntu on my Virtualbox.
But, I can't reproduce the problem.
I will continue working on resolving the problem tomorrow.

[koxudaxi]

I might have better ignore the check that the file is executable on Linux 🤔

Hi, same problem here:

• Ubuntu 20.04
  

• Poetry 1.1.5, installed poetry with curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python - as recommended in the official docs
  

• pyenv local is 3.9.2, system is 3.8.5
  

• PyCharm professional is version 2020.3.4, installed via snap with classic confinement

@erols
Thank you for the version information.
I'm installing Ubuntu 20.10 into VirtualBox. (I installed Ubuntu 20.04 last week)
I don't use snap to install PyCharm. I will try it.

[erols]

Corrected Pycharm version to 2020.3.4

[koxudaxi]

Great!! I just reproduced the problem in Ubuntu 20.10.
The problem doesn't happen in Ubuntu 20.04 🤔
I will check the reason tomorrow.

[koxudaxi]

I just understood why the plugin show Cannot execute .../.poetry/bin/poetry
The plugin executes poetry --version to check executable poetry.
But, The execution is used the system python interpreter. it means pyenv is not used.

Also, I can't run poetry with a system Python interpreter.

Would you please test this command?

$ /usr/bin/python3 `which poetry`

[koxudaxi]

I guess Poetry should be called by an interpreter which is what you used when installing poetry.
Otherwise, the interpreter may not execute poetry.
Unfortunately, the system interpreter of Ubuntu 20.10 can't execute poetry without additional installing.

pyenv is set in shell settings like .bashrc
But, the plugin creates a process to execute poetry without shell settings.
I'm thinking about how do we execute the poetry. 🤔
