pipenv shell, does not activate the virtual environment

I'm trying to go to work with pipenv, but I have problems with the launch of the virtual environment.

errors:

➜  test_pipenv pipenv shell
Launching subshell in virtual environment…
 . /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/test_pipenv-mzRyHdZF/bin/activate
➜  test_pipenv  . /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/test_pipenv-mzRyHdZF/bin/activate
cd: **This is not a directory:** /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/test_pipenv-mzRyHdZF/bin/activate

or

➜  test_pipenv /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/venv-mzRyHdZF/bin/activate
zsh: **Access denied:** /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/venv-mzRyHdZF/bin/activate

or

➜  test_pipenv source /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/venv-mzRyHdZF/bin/activate
(test_pipenv) ➜  test_pipenv pip freeze  
certifi==2018.10.15
chardet==3.0.4
idna==2.7
requests==2.19.1
urllib3==1.23

I installed the pipenv twice and get the same error:

sudo pip install pipenv

and

pip install --user pipenv

I get the same error I use arch linux and zsh

.zshrc 
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export SHELL=/bin/zsh
PIPENV_SHELL=/use/bin/zsh
export ZSH=/home/user/.oh-my-zsh
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Help me please. Why does not it work pipenv shell?

check for permissions on your $HOME/.local/share/virtualenvs directory. If you are not allowed to create files/ directories in there, you cannot start a virtual env.

Try doing this:

pip uninstall pipenv

this will uninstall existing pipenv after doing that re-install pipenv by doing this:

pip install pipenv

(can't comment so I'll add this as an answer)

Hi,

From what I can tell you are doing all of this in terminal. If you do not have to work with pipenv, then I would recommend using virtualenv.

Install:

pip install virtualenv

Create a new virtual env:

virtualenv -p python3 your_env_name

load virtual env (from path where created file is located in):

source your_env_name/bin/activate

You can save your packages already installed with pip like this:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

and then load them in your virtual env (once you have loaded it) like this: 

pip install -r requirements.txt

Hope this helps! :)
