Formatter autopep8 is not installed. Install? Resolution

The problem that was occurring

I wanted to set lint & formatting of python file with VScode. If you search for python vscode lint etc., you will get caught in articles like this and leave the following code as it is written in setting.json. I copied it.

setting.json

"python.linting.enabled": true,
"python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
"python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
"python.linting.lintOnSave": true,
"python.formatting.provider": "autopep8",
"editor.formatOnSave": true

I was hoping that this would somehow run formatting when saving, and when I tried to save, VScode gave me the following warning.

Formatter autopep8 is not installed. Install? So, just press Yes, try installing autopep8 globally with pip install autopep8, or write ʻautopep8 in pyproject.toml` of our project that uses Poetry as a package manager. However, the warning did not disappear and it was a little difficult because it was not shaped at the time of saving.

Solution procedure

In my case, I solved it by adding the following code

setting.json

"python.formatting.autopep8Path": "/Users/USERNAME/.pyenv/shims/autopep8"

It seems that I needed to tell you the Path of ʻautopep8 that runs as formatting.provider. ʻAutopep8 Path can be output by the following procedure (if installed)

$ which autopep8
$ pyenv which autopep8 #This if you are using pyenv
