Allow discovery of venv in VIRTUAL_ENV env variable #16853

MatthewMckee4 · 2025-03-19T17:30:35Z

Summary

Fixes #16744

Allows the cli to find a virtual environment from the VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable if no --python is set

Test Plan

Unsure how to mock a venv to test that this works

+impl PythonPath {
+    pub fn find_virtual_env() -> Option<Self> {
+        let virtual_env = std::env::var("VIRTUAL_ENV").ok();
+        if let Some(virtual_env) = virtual_env {
+            tracing::debug!("Found virtual environment at {:?}", virtual_env);
+            return Some(Self::ActiveEnvironment(SystemPathBuf::from(virtual_env)));
+        }
+        None
+    }
+}


Using this approach for when VIRTUAL_ENV is set does make sense to me because we probably want Red Knot to fail if whatever VIRTUAL_ENV is pointing to doesn't turn out to be a virtual env.

I'm not sure if it's the right approach to e.g. support .venv because we then only want to use the folder if it actually is a virtual env.

I should probably look at this for parity with uv..

(there's actually not much to review here — uv's discovery is far more complicated and doesn't really seem relevant for this particular change)

Nice!

I think we can use SysPrefixPath in more places to avoid having to reduce the number of arguments that need to be routed through the different levels.

Could anyone help with testing, I'm unsure about how to go about testing this

Could anyone help with testing, I'm unsure about how to go about testing this

I'm curious if @MichaReiser has any ideas but my best idea here is lots of manual testing:

If we manually create an environment and activate it, can red-knot automatically resolve imports that refer to third-party packages in the venv's site_packages directory?
If the environment is implicitly activated via uv run, can can red-knot automatically resolve imports that refer to third-party packages in the venv's site_packages directory?
If we deliberately "break" a venv in one of the ways that we try to detect using the site_packages::SitePackagesDiscoveryError enum and then activate the venv and run red-knot, what do the error messages from red-knot look like?

MichaReiser · 2025-03-20T13:46:05Z

An automated CLI test would be great, but it's probably somewhat painful to set up because SysPrefixPath does a lot of validation, and the behavior is even platform-dependent. I'm fine skipping an automated test here because it doesn't do much more than --python <path>

I manually tested with both "good" and "broken" virtual environments, and it all looks great. Thank you!
