No such file or directory: '.tox/py33/bin/pip'

Hi,

I'm trying to use tox, but when I run it, I get the following error (full stacktrace below):

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.tox/py33/bin/pip'

I'm running Tox on a project created with Cookiecutter, in a virtualenv, on my Mac.

This is my tox.ini:

[tox]
envlist = py33, style

[testenv]
setenv =
    PYTHONPATH = {toxinidir}:{toxinidir}/HuetonApi
deps =
    -r{toxinidir}/requirements.txt
    pytest
commands =
    python setup.py test

[testenv:style]
deps =
    -r{toxinidir}/requirements.txt
    flake8
commands =
    python setup.py flake8

And I have no idea how to fix this :-) thanks for the help!

Btw, I checked: in the directory I'm running this the directory it's looking for does exist. But probably my virtualenvwrapper is messing things up, but I don't want to get rid of that.

(btw, I also tried without using using the workon of virtualenvwrapper, but I get the same error)

do you also get that with "tox -r -e py33"?

Wow, you are fast ;-). Yes, I get the same error, both using virtualenv and without.

Btw, this is the project, in case you'd like to check it out (it's only a few lines of code): https://github.com/bodiam/hueton

the -r means recreate. /me off for today.

I removed everything by hand, executed tox -r, but I got the same error. Also tried using sudo, but still same error... Thanks for helping me out btw, much appreciated!

Hi Holger,

Any idea how to fix this? I still have this issue, it would be great if I knew where to look how to fix this!

Thanks!

it works for me"

Please paste a full log, trying to do the same and include the output of tox --version and virtualenv --version.

"it works on your machine.". Interesting to hear! I guess you're running it on linux right, not on a mac? Thanks for trying it out btw!

linux, yes. but i am pretty sure people are using tox successfully on osx so it remains odd what is going on here. Can you paste the full log and versions as i asked for?

Ah, sorry, I missed that. I'll do that tonight! Thanks!

Sorry, a bit later than expected, but here's my complete output:

And tox --version:

I hope this helps!

A suggestion.
The missing file ".../bin/pip" is normally created when the virtual-environment is created by virtualenv (and tox). It uses the pip installation package from "virtualenv_support" as part of "virtualenv".

Try the following to see where the problem is located:

• Create a new virtualenv and ensure that pip is installed

virtualenv xxx
cat xxx/bin/pip

• Try to do the same with tox by using an empty "testenv:xxx" in an extended "tox.ini":

tox -e xxx

NOTE:
You may need to remove the installed virtualenv version and install it from scratch.
Ensure that all "virtualenv" and "virtualenv_support" directories (or copies from it) are removed under "site-packages" before you reinstall "virtualenv".
