Getting "Failed to load paths error" #5173

BreezySMX · 2022-07-12T15:54:24Z

Issue description

I'm 99% sure my paths are correct. I've followed the paths in my environment variables to make sure the folders actually existed.

I'm having issues getting pipenv to work. I had it working in the past, but now it isn't. I'm running through the Visual Studio Code terminal, but am experiencing the same issues in command prompt.

I've ran pip uninstall pipenv and reinstalled it, to no avail.

I've created a new folder with a new 'test.py' file, with only 'print('hello')' written in it.
Inside VSC I ran, pipenv in the terminal and got back the 'help' you would expect. Running pipenv shell gives me the following:

Successfully created virtual environment!

Failed to load paths: Unable to create process using 'C:\Users\GOST CTF SME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe -c "import sysconfig, distutils.sysconfig, io, json, sys; paths = {u'purelib': u'{0}'.format(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=0)),u'stdlib': u'{0}'.format(sysconfig.get_path('stdlib')),u'platlib': u'{0}'.format(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=1)),u'platstdlib': u'{0}'.format(sysconfig.get_path('platstdlib')),u'include': u'{0}'.format(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc(plat_specific=0)),u'platinclude': u'{0}'.format(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc(plat_specific=1)),u'scripts': u'{0}'.format(sysconfig.get_path('scripts')),u'py_version_short': u'{0}'.format(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_version()), }; value = u'{0}'.format(json.dumps(paths));fh = io.open('c:/users/gostct~1/appdata/local/temp/tmp87pjy6v_.json', 'w'); fh.write(value); fh.close()"'

running pipenv install gives me the same errors and fails to install any library. It sounds like a path issue, so I checked my path variable and everything is there.

Per the install docs, I install using

pip install --user pipenv

Then I use python -m site --user-site and I get C:\Users\user 1\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages. The docs tell me to make sure this and \Scripts is in my PATH, which they both are. My error message suggests the path is in the "Local" folder, but the install docs tell me to use the Roaming folder. Regardless, both paths are there.

Expected result

pipenv to install the libraries.

Steps to replicate

Just run
pipenv shell

Tried the following:

Failed to load paths using 2020.6.2 #4337
- Which boils down to pip install --upgrade pip git+https://github.com/pypa/pipenv
- Issue still exists
Failed to load paths using 2020.4.1b1 #4220
- pipenv --where returns C:\Users\GOST CTF SME

BreezySMX · 2022-07-12T18:06:52Z

I created a new profile on my computer, installed Python 3.10.5 and visual studio code. I followed the same steps I outlined above and pipenv worked as expect. I copied my paths exactly from that account to this one:

And I'm still getting the same error.

@BreezySMX Check if your system has a Python31 directory as well, I recently had my Python auto update and there was both a Python310 (old) directory and a Python31 patched newer version of 3.10 and there were pathing issues with some things referencing the new and some things referencing the old path which was now incomplete.

Mine was like this:
C:\Users\matte\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python31\Scripts

Sorry I don't have much else to offer, but it sure sounds like a system environment issue with the account that is getting the error. FWIW I am running python from the Microsoft Store.

matteius · 2022-08-05T22:19:51Z

@BreezySMX Could you recheck this experience with the new version of pipenv 2022.8.5?

dariocc · 2022-08-16T02:10:21Z

I was getting this error on 2021.5.29 (strangely enough, only for one project). Deleting virtualenvs directory, lock file or using pipenv rm would not make any difference.

But updating to 2022.8.15 solved the issue for me.

matteius · 2022-08-16T02:31:59Z

I am going to close this issue out, but we can re-open if you find its in fact still an issue on 2022.8.15.
