Log indicates failure but .venv folder has been created

Testing #19883

I am no expert in this and don't really know what success means but I went through the "create env > venv" flow, everything seemed file but checking the logs it reads:

Running: /bin/python3 -m venv .venv

The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

    apt install python3.8-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: ['/home/parallels/Code/_samples/.venv/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']

Now I am confused I don't know if this was successful or not

@jrieken In this case the environment is created and can be used. But packages cannot be installed in it. We will attempt to discover this earlier and try to fail the whole env creation process.

What's the best way to verify this?

[karthiknadig]

You have to force a failure in create_venv.py script where it checks for is_installed('pip'). @eleanorjboyd verified this manually. Forgot to mark this as verified.
