Load correctly poetry environment from docker compose into pycharm available environments

PyCharm and Poetry with Docker (Compose)

I use PyCharm for my python development and normally I use a virtual env but now I found poetry and it manages the dependencies in a better way than just having a pip requirements file.

I had issues loading correctly a poetry environment from docker compose into pycharm available environments.

This sometimes works, sometimes I just reload the entire environment.

Step 1:

Run your docker image of course.

Step 2:

Go to the Python Project Settings at: Project Interpreter

Step 3:

Click over Python Interpreter and select Show All...

Step 4:

Click over the + button and add a new docker compose item.

Step 5:

Continue through the wizard and select your Docker service correctly.

Step 6:

The wizard will try to run docker? I dont know why it fails over my pycharm or what but it does not seem to matter.

Step 7:

Shell into your docker container and execute: poetry env info -p and copy that path and include /bin/python

Step 8:

On the wizard click over the 3 dots: ...

Step 9:

Add the path from the poetry environment but remember to add /bin/python at the end.

And hopefully... you will have your environment correctly.

Happy coding.

There is an actual YouTrack issue to follow if you are interesting in something from jetbrains: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-42909/Support-poetry-in-docker-compose-python-interpreter

Hi,
You can directly set it using your Dockerfile like so:

ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 \
    PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 \
    POETRY_VERSION=1.6.0 \
    POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_IN_PROJECT=true \
    POETRY_HOME="/opt/poetry"

ENV PATH="$POETRY_HOME/bin:/src/.venv/bin:$PATH"

RUN apk --no-cache add curl

# Install poetry - respects $POETRY_VERSION & $POETRY_HOME
RUN curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

WORKDIR /src

Pycharm will find the right Python bin in the venv

@lnlrbr thanks，its works for me.
