Pylance Missing Imports Poetry Link -

Guide — Fixing “Pylance missing imports” for projects using Poetry and linked packages

This guide explains why Pylance reports missing imports when you use Poetry and poetry link (or editable installs) and gives concrete fixes for VS Code + Pylance. Assumptions: you use Python, Poetry, and VS Code with the Pylance language server. If any environment detail differs, the steps still broadly apply.

3. Configure pyrightconfig.json (if above fails)

In your project root, create pyrightconfig.json: pylance missing imports poetry link

  "venvPath": "/path/to/your/poetry/cache/venvs",
  "venv": "your-project-name-xxxxx-py3.10"

(Get venvPath from poetry env info --path – use the parent directory.) Guide — Fixing “Pylance missing imports” for projects

7. Configure Python Interpreter in VSCode

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows/Linux or Cmd + Shift + P on macOS).
2. Type and select "Python: Select Interpreter".
3. Choose the interpreter used by your Poetry project. If you don't see it, you might need to add it manually by locating the Python executable in your Poetry project's virtual environment (usually found in .venv/bin/python).

Troubleshooting Tips

• Verify Virtual Environment: Ensure that your virtual environment is correctly activated and has the correct Python version and dependencies installed.
• Check pyproject.toml: Ensure your pyproject.toml file is well-formed and correctly specifies your project's dependencies.
• PyLance Version: Ensure you're running a recent version of PyLance, as updates may resolve known issues.
