• OS version and name: macOS 13.0.1
• pyproject.toml: any

• I am on the latest stable Poetry version, installed using a recommended method.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• I have consulted the FAQ and blog for any relevant entries or release notes.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option) and have included the output below.

Issue

If there is a space in the path to the virtual environment (e.g. when using virtualenvs.in-project=true) the poetry shell command is not executed as expected, because the shlex.quote function wraps that path in single quotes, and when running in zsh, that wrapped path is wrapped in quotes again.

executed:

poetry shell
# Spawning shell within /Applications/Dwarf Fortress LMP/LNP/Utilities/Ann2/AnnouncementWindow/.venv
emulate bash -c '. '/Applications/Dwarf Fortress LMP/LNP/Utilities/Ann2/AnnouncementWindow/.venv/bin/activate''
# emulate: unknown argument Fortress

expected:

poetry shell
# Spawning shell within /Applications/Dwarf Fortress LMP/LNP/Utilities/Ann2/AnnouncementWindow/.venv
emulate bash -c ". '/Applications/Dwarf Fortress LMP/LNP/Utilities/Ann2/AnnouncementWindow/.venv/bin/activate'"

Bumping as I have the same issue, I was able to manually resolve by passing the same argument as the expected outcome to get the shell to activate in my project.

Running into the same issue. Manually resolving by escaping the spaces doesn't work for me either.

What does work is simply activating the venv like you normally would with:

source .venv/bin/activate

I installed Poetry with pipx and am using Oh My Zsh. Have carefully followed the instructions, including executing the following in terminal:

mkdir $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/poetry poetry completions zsh > $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/poetry/_poetry

And adding the poetry plugin to the ~/.zshrc plugin array.

It appears like there is a pull request to fix this from a year ago but it hasn't been accepted (looks like there was a timeout on a test).

In the meantime I just added:

alias v_activate="source .venv/bin/activate"

to my .zshrc and use that instead of poetry shell

Thanks for the hint. The PR looks good to me.
