Replit is not installing packages for a project imported from Github properly

Support Bug Reports

Bug description:

We were running into issues installing mdtex2html last week, see here, and now we are trying to work around that by starting a fresh Replit and importing our existing code from Github.

What is happening is that in our new Flask replit, we don’t have access to Flask even after all the packages have been installed.

Expected vs Current Behavior:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 2, in <module>
    from app import flaskapp, db
  File "/home/runner/DLResurrect-1/app/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from flask import Flask
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask'

This is what happens when we press the Run button or try running main.py ourselves. It also doesn’t work when we try importing it the console directly. Also, none of the other installed modules can be imported either.

Steps to reproduce:

Try installing the packages using poetry install and running the Repl.

It bears mentioning that all the packages are getting installed from the shell, but it doesn’t seem like the Repl is reading them from the right place.

Hi @mrakgr , welcome to the forums!
Can you try entering pip install flask into the Shell?
Thanks!

After this, I still get the same flask not found error when I try to run it.

@mrakgr Can you try entering poetry add flask into the Shell?

~/DLNotWorking$ poetry add flask
The following packages are already present in the pyproject.toml and will be skipped:

  • flask

If you want to update it to the latest compatible version, you can use `poetry update package`.
If you prefer to upgrade it to the latest available version, you can use `poetry add package@latest`.

Nothing to add.

I am getting the same module not found error when I try to run it.

Try to transfer your repl to the Flask template and reinstall it in the new library repl.

@mrakgr Try what @KAlexK suggested, or do poetry update flask.

I’ll try doing what he suggested, I am just wondering how to import an existing repo on top of it…

10

@mrakgr In the repo import page, select the Flask template in the languages list.
Or you can try this:

11

No, I don’t have the same error as in that post. It is just that it is not importing right. Let me try again from the top.

@mrakgr Could you try this:
