Getting pyright to detect my poetry environment
reddit / emacs

How do I get `pyright` to properly detect my `poetry` environment? I'm
getting a lot of `Import "foo" could not be resolved` errors and
missing completions because it's not seeing my poetry environment.

I already have `poetry.el` (with `poetry-venv-toggle` toggled) and
it's detecting my `poetry` project correctly, but `pyright` does not
seem to be cooperating with it.

Anyone experiencing the same issue?

I suggest trying a generic environment management package such as
envrc or buffer-env.

By setting venvPath and venv config,

Could you provide an example?

I am having the same problem. I found this example project
https://github.com/jaeheonji/python-boilerplate. Pyright has no
problems finding the modules when I clone that repo. But when I create
a project using the poetry command, pyright cannot find the modules.
And I cannot figure it out why.

I can't help, sorry.  I'm just wondering why a thing to do with poetry
was named `pyright` rather than `pywrite`.

I have installed poetry emacs package and set the poetry tracking mode
to 1. Every time I edit some file in a python poetry project the venv
gets activated.

Also I have poetry config setup to put my venv locally in project
inside .venv folder not sure if its got anything to do with your
problem

in `pyproject.toml` i do
```
[tool.pyright]
venvPath="/home/<username>/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs"
venv="<venv-name>"
```
if you are not using `pyproject.toml` you can create
`pyrightconfig.json` in the project root
```
{
"venvPath": "/home/<username>/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs",
"venv": "<venv-name>"
}
```

Maybe because it has `poetry.toml` that contains

```
[virtualenvs]
in-project = true
```
this will create the venv in the project root, i tink that is why
`pyright` could detect it

It's not to do with poetry.  Pyright is an LSP server for Python;
poetry is a Python dependency and package management system.  They
don't have anything much in common except you want your Pyright to use
the environment set up by Poetry.

I assume they mean "right" as in "correct", though personally I
actually might have chosen "wright" as in "shipwright" - meaning
"builder", since an lsp server helps you build things.  But I don't
really know their rationale.

Ah, so poetry is nothing to do with poetry, and pyright is nothing to
do with poetry *or* poetry.  The name makes more sense now.

This works for me.

After creating a project:
`poetry new example`

Then run:
`poetry install`

And pyright has no problems finding the modules.

Thanks, this made it work for me!
