Powershell does not show the virtualenv id or name?

When you run pipenv shell on VS Code powershell the virtualenv id does not show like

(virtualenv_name-JSHDF90KJH0)c:\

only shows

c:\

how do you setup powershell to show the virtualenv id or name in Windows 10?

If you move to the Scripts folder you will find Activate.ps1:

Directory: D:\....\project_env\Scripts

Run it to activate the environment in powershell...

Once you pipenv install your project and ran virtualenv -p python3 ., you can run inside your project's folder the command

.\Scripts\activate

this will activate the virtual environment with the parentheses marks, indicating the name of which virtual environment is running:

(myproject) PS C:\Users\me\Dev\myproject>

This solution, however, won't show you the virtual environment ID, only it's name.

Well, I had a similar problem using venv, so I'll post what I did in my case.

I was using python -m venv /app_env or app_env/ and when I activated the enviroment, the name of the enviroment (app_env) wasn't showing.

But when I did 

python -m venv app_env

And activated, It worked:

(budget_app_env) PS C:\Users\some_user\project\app_project>

So maybe you had a problem with "/"s.

And by the way, python doc recommends using venv because pyenv was deprecated.
