poetry run raises FileNotFoundError without any more information (workaround found)

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: docker alpine:3.13
• Poetry version: 1.1.4
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: vanilla project from poetry init with a main.py and the following scripts section:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
main = "main:main"

Issue

Using the following Dockerfile as base image on our build pipeline.

FROM alpine:3.13
RUN apk add --update --no-cache python3 python3-dev py3-pip py3-pandas py3-numpy-dev hdf5-dev
RUN pip install poetry
RUN poetry config virtualenvs.create false

poetry run main crashes with the following error:

/workdir # poetry init
/workdir # poetry run -vvv main

  FileNotFoundError

  [Errno 2] No such file or directory

       603│             last_exc = e
       604│         except OSError as e:
       605│             last_exc = e

Note that enabling or disabling virtualenvs.create has the same effect.

Long story short, I’ve been able to work around the issue and hope this might help others. Here is what did the trick:

/workdir # ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

It seems that poetry run is expecting python to be found in the PATH (https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/blob/master/poetry/console/commands/run.py#L40) on contrary to poetry which is directly using python3:

/workdir # head -1 /usr/bin/poetry
#!/usr/bin/python3

Same issue here of Ubuntu:

root@LAPTOP-E0HT1CM9:/mnt/c/Users/epogr/Documents/GitHub/rides-blueprint# poetry run --help

  FileNotFoundError

Finally I fixed my problem: it was the bad entry in the pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
poetry-test = "poetry_test.console:main"

Here poetry-test is the script to be executed like poetry run poetry-test, poetry_test is the package name, console.py is a python file inside the package, and main is the function inside console.py. Sorry for the newbie’s comments, I’ve just got acquainted with poetry 😃. Hopefully this will help someone else.
