By properly linking your poetry environment, Pylance will accurately resolve imports, restoring autocomplete and type-checking capabilities.
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Imports work in terminal, not in editor | Pylance using wrong interpreter | Select Poetry interpreter manually (Phase 1) | | Works today, broken tomorrow | Poetry env hash changed | Use virtualenvs.in-project true (Phase 3) | | Library imports OK, own module fails | extraPaths missing source folder | Add python.analysis.extraPaths (Phase 4) | | Pylance stuck after fixes | Cache corruption | Python: Clear Cache and Reload |
You can pass this path directly to Pylance via your VS Code settings so it knows where to look for third-party libraries.
Now .venv/ is in your project root – VS Code often auto-detects it. pylance missing imports poetry link

, it creates a virtual environment—often in a central cache folder—that VS Code might not automatically detect unless explicitly told to do so. Proactive Prevention Tips
Then restart Pylance.
VS Code is a powerful editor, but its Python extension often loses track of dependencies managed by Poetry. This results in the frustrating reportMissingImports warning, even when your code runs perfectly in the terminal. The root cause is simple: VS Code and Pylance do not automatically know which virtual environment Poetry created for your project.
In your project root, create pyrightconfig.json :
配置完成后有时问题仍然存在，这通常是缓存导致的。 By properly linking your poetry environment, Pylance will
(easiest)
The cleanest way to avoid path conflicts is to force Poetry to create your virtual environment directly inside your project folder. This makes it incredibly easy for VS Code to auto-detect the packages. 1. Configure Poetry Locally
If you are tired of fighting cached virtual env paths, you can force Poetry to create the .venv folder inside your project root. This is the most Pylance-friendly approach. # Remove the existing external environment poetry env
