Environment plugins¶
See the documentation for environment configuration.
Known third-party¶
- hatch-containers - environments run inside containers
Life cycle¶
Whenever an environment is used, the following logic is performed:
Source code in hatch/cli/application.py
 def prepare_environment(self, environment):
    if not environment.exists():
        with self.status_waiting(f'Creating environment: {environment.name}'):
            environment.create()
        if not environment.skip_install:
            if environment.pre_install_commands:
                with self.status_waiting('Running pre-installation commands'):
                    self.run_shell_commands(environment, environment.pre_install_commands, source='pre-install')
            if environment.dev_mode:
                with self.status_waiting('Installing project in development mode'):
                    environment.install_project_dev_mode()
            else:
                with self.status_waiting('Installing project'):
                    environment.install_project()
            if environment.post_install_commands:
                with self.status_waiting('Running post-installation commands'):
                    self.run_shell_commands(environment, environment.post_install_commands, source='post-install')
    if not environment.dependencies_in_sync():
        with self.status_waiting('Syncing dependencies'):
            environment.sync_dependencies()
Built-in¶
Virtual¶
This uses virtual environments backed by the standard virtualenv tool.
Configuration¶
The environment plugin name is virtual.
[tool.hatch.envs.<ENV_NAME>]
type = "virtual"
[envs.<ENV_NAME>]
type = "virtual"
Options¶
| Option | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| system-packages | false | Whether or not to give the virtual environment access to the system site-packagesdirectory | 
| python | The version of Python to find on your system and subsequently use to create the environment, defaulting to the HATCH_PYTHONenvironment variable, followed by the Python executable Hatch is running on. For more information, see the documentation. | |
| env:HATCH_ENV_TYPE_VIRTUAL_PATH | An explicit path to the virtual environment |
