Broken pipe in WSL2 #4396

jthorpe6 · 2020-07-17T07:17:55Z

Issue description

Within WSL2 (Debian), when creating an environment and running pipenv shell i receive a broken pipe when it try's to load. I dont know if this is a WSL2 thing or a pipenv thing.

Expected result

I would have expected to be put into the virtualenv

Actual result

When possible, provide the verbose output (--verbose), especially for locking and dependencies resolving issues.

$ pipenv shell --verbose
Launching subshell in virtual environment…
 . /home/jthorpe/.local/share/virtualenvs/temp-HIOIE7wf/bin/activate
--verbose
write failed 32: Broken pipe

Steps to replicate

Provide the steps to replicate (which usually at least includes the commands and the Pipfile).

I just tried to replicate this on my WSL2 Debian with Python 3.8.5 and had no issues doing so:

Linux DESKTOP-OFFICE 4.19.104-microsoft-standard #1 SMP Wed Feb 19 06:37:35 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

jthorpe6 · 2020-08-03T12:05:02Z

Thank you, did you install python 3.8.5 from source? as i cant seem to install it from apt

$ sudo apt install python3.8

E: Unable to locate package python3.8

But python 3.7 is there

Ignore the message I just deleted. This was Debian not Ubuntu :) - I think I built from source according to this: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-python-3-8-on-debian-10/ (though with 3.8.5 not 3.8.2).

@jthorpe6 Has this been resolved?

jthorpe6 · 2022-03-17T09:44:00Z

Hey, I'm unable to test this, as I don't use WSL anymore. I'm happy for it to be closed.

ividito · 2022-04-21T18:04:22Z

Not sure if there's any interest in revisiting this, but I've been running into the same issue as described above. If it helps, I also get the exact same behaviour using Poetry's poetry shell command. I wonder if WSL doesn't play nice with pexpect

matteius · 2022-07-05T13:01:43Z

@ividito What commands were you running/what Pipfile or other useful context? I have a friend at work that runs pipenv in WSL and I haven't heard of any complaints from him, so I would like to ask for more details to be able to reproduce it.

@ividito What commands were you running/what Pipfile or other useful context? I have a friend at work that runs pipenv in WSL and I haven't heard of any complaints from him, so I would like to ask for more details to be able to reproduce it.

I've dropped pipenv since I commented, but here's my Pipfile from when I last observed this issue:

[[source]]
name = "pypi"
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true

[dev-packages]

[packages]

[requires]
python_version = "3.7"

I ran into the issue while running pipenv shell . I do still run into this issue with poetry shell , and I've generally adapted my workflow to compensate rather than continue to wrestle with it. If there are specific resources I can provide or troubleshooting steps I can take that would help with reproducing it, let me know.
