What to do if an error occurs in VS Code when importing a django module or your own module installed by pip install
When I was building the development environment for django, I was addicted to the following events.
- I can't jump to the django module installed by pip install
- Importing my own module causes an error and quick fix is invalid
It's my environment.
- OS: macOS Catalina --Editor: VSCode --Introduced Pylance as an extension
The code works even if there is an error, but if the quick fix does not work, the work efficiency will drop and the error will be unpleasant. I want to erase it.
As a result of investigation, it was because VS Code could not find the target module. The error can be resolved by adding the search path of the target module to the setting item of Pylance.
Add python.analysis.extraPaths to settings.json
- Added 2021/1/4 _ ** python.analysis.extraPaths ** _ is a setting item specific to Pylance. Therefore, the following procedure is intended for those who have introduced Pylance.
1. Open the VS Code configuration file (settings.json)
If you press shift + cmd + P and search for" settings ", it will be suggested.
- Added 2021/1/5 Please select the settings.json to be edited as appropriate, considering the range of influence, whether it is a user setting or a workspace setting. In this article, settings.json is edited as a user setting.
2. Add the module search path to settings.json
Add _ ** python.analysis.extraPaths ** _ and describe the full path of the module to be searched.
settings.json
"python.analysis.extraPaths": [
//Django library storage directory
"/Users/user_name/.pyenv/versions/3.9.0/lib/python3.9/site-packages",
//Project root directory
"/Users/user_name/workspace/project_name",
],
The error has been resolved and code jumps and quick fixes are now enabled.
