Issue

Since poetry 1.2.0, poetry shell does not work on git bash in Windows.

$ poetry shell
Spawning shell within C:\Users\filip\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\dinrplan-9Ih6xyvL-py3.10
/usr/bin/bash: /K: No such file or directory

Downgrading to 1.1.5 works:

filip@Marwin MINGW64 ~/workspace/python/dinrplan (master)
$ poetry --version
Poetry version 1.1.15

filip@Marwin MINGW64 ~/workspace/python/dinrplan (master)
$ poetry shell
Spawning shell within C:\Users\filip\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\dinrplan-T1RTjXIi-py3.9

filip@Marwin MINGW64 ~/workspace/python/dinrplan (master)
$ which python
/c/Users/filip/AppData/Local/pypoetry/Cache/virtualenvs/dinrplan-T1RTjXIi-py3.9/Scripts/python

Looking at the code, I believe 57450f2 broke the git bash support.

I think your identification of the point of change is incorrect, but we definitely need to check $SHELL instead of blindly trusting that the user is using CMD/Powershell.

[Chris Hopkins]

Is there a suggested workaround to this, besides using powershell when running under windows?

[Bjorn Neergaard]

poetry shell is just a convenience tool to start a subshell and activate an environment -- you can activate the env yourself with more typing (find the path with poetry env info --path).

[Brian Marroquin]

The identification point is correct. For windows, we are only considering Powershell or cmd.exe. I'll add a third case to fallback to the previous behavior. The prompt modification won't happen in this situtation.

Here is what shellingham reports

$ .venv/Scripts/python.exe -i

@cbehopkins

From previous poetry brokenness, I ended up having a shell alias to do the right thing.

alias pshell='poetry run bash -i'

You can also hardcode which bash you want to run if you want to run.

Keep in mind that at least in my case, on Windows, poetry changed the virtual env it installs to. So if you were using 1.1.15 and upgraded to 1.2.0 or later, you'll want to check to make sure your IDE points to the right virtualenv for your python interpreter.
