[SOLVED] I have broken my poetry installation and don't know where to begin to fix it?

Issue

I was using poetry in combination with pyenv for some hobby projects. I created some virtualenvs with pyenv inside some poetry hobby projects. For some reason I deleted some of these python installs which broke the virtualenvs within these projects and now poetry won't work at all anymore. I'm getting this message when I try to start poetry. I'm using Linux Mint 20.1:

/home/milkman/.poetry/lib/poetry/_vendor/py2.7/subprocess32.py:149: RuntimeWarning: The _posixsubprocess module is not being used. Child process reliability may suffer if your program uses threads.
  "program uses threads.", RuntimeWarning)

I have no idea where to start to fix this. Anytime I try a command with poetry I get this same message. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!


Solution

May be you have deleted some library files. You can try removing poetry and all libraries that your app is using. Start fresh installation of poetry. You can use pip to install and uninstall.

Other wise start a new project from fresh.
