Environment plugins

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-packages directory
python The version of Python to find on your system and subsequently use to create the environment, defaulting to the HATCH_PYTHON environment 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
