Python file with more than one entry breaks module resolution #3727
Description

- Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.12.1
- OS and version: Mac OS 10.14.1

Expected behaviour
Adding custom locations to .pth file should be resolved by the Python intellisense.
Actual behaviour
I have a custom package that is in a subdirectory of my project. I want Python to resolve it as if it were an installed module.
The project is setup as such.
os_path
-|+- project_dir
--|+- bin
---|+- test.py
--|+- lib
---|+- custom_module
----|+- __init__.py
In the python 3.7 site-packages directory I have a .pth file with something like the following contents.
{os_dir}/{project_dir}
{os_dir}/{project_dir}/lib
In Python this resolves without issue and so I can do.
Python 3.7.0 (default, Aug 21 2018, 11:16:24)
[Clang 9.1.0 (clang-902.0.39.2)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import custom_module
>>> custom_module.test()
Hello
If I create a test.py file in the project's bin directory like so:
"""This is a test."""
import custom_module
custom_module.test()
In VSCode I get unresolved import:
{
"resource": "/{os_path}/{project_dir}/bin/test.py",
"owner": "generated_diagnostic_collection_name#0",
"code": "unresolved-import",
"severity": 4,
"message": "unresolved import 'custom_module'",
"source": "Python",
"startLineNumber": 2,
"startColumn": 8,
"endLineNumber": 2,
"endColumn": 21
}
If I switch the import to lib.{custom_module} then the module resolution works. I'm guessing this is because VSCode adds the workspace to the PYTHONPATH.
Steps to reproduce:
- Setup a project with a module that is +1 level deep in the project. i.e. lib/custom_module/__init__.py
- Add a test function for resolution to __init__.py
"""This is a test."""
def test() -> None:
"""This is a test function."""
print("Hello")
- In the Python site-packages create a
.pthfile and add the full OS path to the lib directory. - Try to import the custom_module in a test file (see my test file above).

I tried to create a brand new project and recreate this. The custom module is resolved without issue. When I try and import modules from my initial project I still cannot resolve them. In both projects I get an error message in the workload console like:
[-]Python linter not able to resolve paths specified in pth file.[/-][+]Corrupted mypy cache prevents vscode from finding modules.[/+]jaredcm commentedon Dec 17, 2018
Found the issue. Looks to be a corrupted .mypy_cache. I removed the cache directory from my initial project and the imports started working in both projects.
jaredcm commentedon Dec 18, 2018
Looks like I was wrong. I restarted my computer and now my custom module cannot be resolved again. I remember I had been messing about with my pth file. Normally I have 4 paths in it which are all loaded into Python without issue. While filling out this bug report, I had removed all but 1, which was when VS Code started working. I had to add the other 3 paths back again later for my scripts to function properly. Which is why it stopped working and I didn't notice until VSCode was restarted.
project.pth =
os_path/project
os_path/project/lib
os_path/project/tests
os_path/project/unit_tests
I've done some testing:
It looks like VSCode gets confused when pth files have more than one entry.
[-]Corrupted mypy cache prevents vscode from finding modules.[/-][+]PTh file with more than one entry break module resolution[/+]jaredcm commentedon Dec 18, 2018
New issue:
In custom_module I have many sub_modules and they have other sub_modules. Within each of the sub_modules I use relative imports to load their child classes. The sub_module directory has a __init__,py with the import statement of "from .rest import Rest". This should resolve to a child directory named 'rest' that has a __init__.py file where the Rest class is defined. The full resolution from the root module to the imported class is 'custom_module.sub_module.rest.Rest'
The error message is:
{
"resource": "~/project/lib/custom_module/sub_module/__init__.py",
"owner": "generated_diagnostic_collection_name#0",
"code": "unresolved-import",
"severity": 4,
"message": "unresolved import 'lib.custom_modulerest'",
"source": "Python",
"startLineNumber": 6,
"startColumn": 6,
"endLineNumber": 6,
"endColumn": 11
}
Also notice that the message is not showing the correct module import path. The lib directory is not a module as it does not have a __init__.py file. If I change the path of the relative import to a full module import of 'from custom_module.sub_module.rest import Rest', then the error goes away. The path in the message is also missing the current module. It's almost like it the path it is looking for is shifted too far up the tree. Instead of looking in custom_module/sub_module/rest, I think it is looking for lib/custom_module/rest which doesn't exist.

Thanks for bringing this up jaredcm, an interesting problem!
I didn't know about
.pthfiles until this issue popped up so thank you for that.I can repro this issue with the latest stable VS Code (1.30.2) + latest extension (2018.12.1), using the Jedi language server (
"python.jediEnabled": true").Workaround: The Microsoft Python Language Server (as of version 0.1.72.0, or greater)
seems to handle this case(see below). Have you attempted to use this instead of Jedi? See this issue for details on how to enable/update the Microsoft Python Language Server.Adding more than one entry.
Actually, on second look I have found that this is not handled properly by the Microsoft Python Language Server as I'd originally stated (at least version 0.1.72.0 doesn't) as I'd left out the multiple lines in the
.pthpart after I got things up and running.Indeed, if you add a
.pthfile to yoursite-packageswith > 1 path, the issue does repro.Here's the sample workspace:
3727_module_resolution.zip
Here's the sample
.pthfile contents that I placed in thesite-packages. I created a.venvin my workspace and copied this file to${workspaceFolder}/.venv/Lib/site-packages/test_3727.pth.luabud commentedon Sep 11, 2019
Closing in favour of microsoft/python-language-server#537. If you experience this with jedi, please file an issue on the jedi repo
