无法在 GIT bash mingw32 for Windows 中激活 virtualenv

Question

When I try to activate my virtualenv from GIT bash mingw32 I do not get the expected response.

NOTE: py is the folder for Python projects in my Google Drive folder. hy is the virtualenv folder that was made when I ran virtualenv --distribute hy .

s3z@s3z ~/Google Drive/py/hy
$ Scripts/activate

So you see, there is no expected (hy) that appears before s3z@s3z ~/Google Drive/py/hy

s3z@s3z ~/Google Drive/py/hy
$ Scripts/activate.bat
Scripts/activate.bat: line 1: @echo: command not found
Scripts/activate.bat: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Scripts/activate.bat: line 4: `if not defined PROMPT ('

And when targeting the actual file name activate.bat I get error messages. Then I try deactivating to see what happens cause I thought maybe virtualenv was activated but hidden.

s3z@s3z ~/Google Drive/py/hy
$ Scripts/deactivate.bat
Scripts/deactivate.bat: line 1: @echo: command not found
Scripts/deactivate.bat: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Scripts/deactivate.bat: line 3: `if defined _OLD_VIRTUAL_PROMPT ('

s3z@s3z ~/Google Drive/py/hy
$ Scripts/deactivate
sh.exe": Scripts/deactivate: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Doing Scripts/activate runs the script in a new instance of the shell, which is destroyed after the script execution. To run the script in your current shell, use either . Scripts/activate . Scripts/activate or source Scripts/activate .

Scripts/activate.bat does not work here because it is written in Batch, Windows cmd.exe language, and not Bash.

Answer 2

On Windows10, you could go in the directory of your virtualenv where the Scripts folder is placed then enter the below command

source ./Scripts/activate

Note the .(dot) without this it was giving error to me when I use it like above mentioned then the solution provided by Pierre worked for me.

How to activate then deactivate a venv with Git Bash

---

To access your python in Windows 10, you need to add the .exe when creating the virtual environment.

$ python.exe -m venv Scripts

Then you can move into the Scripts folder you created for the virtual environment.

$ cd Scripts/

Now you have to call on it to activate the virtual environment.

$ source ./Scripts/activate

When you are done you just deactivate the virtual environment.

$ deactivate

I know there's an answer already on here but I thought I could post my solution for those coming to this post a lot later like me. After installing python 3.8.2 and making sure you selected add python to c drive path on the initial install, do the following...

1. Install virtualenv with pip install virtualenv and then test.

2. Go into your project folder, type pip freeze this will show all the installed packages which may not be wanted for a new project.

3. Type python -m venv ./venv and then cd venv ,

4. Type . Scripts/activate . Scripts/activate . You should now see (venv) , which is the name you gave in step 3.

5. cd .. back to the root of your project folder and type pip freeze to check this virtual environment if clear for a new project.

(venv) user@DESKTOP MINGW64 ~/Documents/yourproject

Answer 5

Just do . Scripts/activate . Scripts/activate in your virtual environment folder

Answer 6

我有同样的错误：在你的 bash 运行中，这个推荐： source venv/Scripts/activate然后使用这个推荐检查它是否有效： pip -V我希望这是有用的。
