[SOLVED] Why doesn't `lsvirtualenv` show my virtual environments?

Issue

I installed virtualwrapper using the instruction, i.e. after installing via sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper, I got

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Documents/Devel
source /usr/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

listed in my ~/.zshrc and ~/.profile file, which I then sourced.

Then I created a virtual environment using virtualenv env in a folder. But when I run lsvirtualenv, nothing shows up. No message, just another $ promt.

Why doesn't it show the newly created environment env?

Solution

lsvirtualenv lists only virtual environments created in $WORKON_HOME using mkvirtualenv. Environments created elsewhere with virtualenv cannot be listed.

Once you started to use virtualenvwrapper you should constrain yourself with its commands without resorting back to virtualenv.
