VSCode does not recognize my Flask dependency installed with Poetry
Question:
I am learning how to use VSCode for Python development by building a simple Flask app. I use Poetry for dependency management.
I have a simple app.py where I’m importing flask and defining a basic route like so:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def home():
return "Hello, Flask!"
In the VSCode terminal, I run poetry shell and then python -m flask run, and the server starts up no problem. I’m able to hit the endpoint and get a response.
However, my VSCode editor is telling me that it’s unable to import flask. I’m unable to run the VSCode debugger for this reason.
I’m missing some step. Does anybody have any idea? Thank you in advance!
Answers:
Re-starting VSCode did the trick. I wasn’t seeing the Poetry interpreter when I looked for it via cmd+shift+p and Python: Select Interpreter prior to re-starting, and now I do. Selecting the Poetry interpreter it fixes the issue!
