How can I run command inside virtualenv in shell script

I develop my own django-based project with pipenv. Couple days ago I created simple bash script to speed up boring stuff.

All time I run terminal, go to the same directory and execute pipenv shell, after that I open up project in VScode code . and started python manage.py runserver for looking up my progress.

I try create script which do the same stuff but simplied, just run webber and here go (it comes from /usr/local/bin).

But I have one problem of these, I can't keep my pipenv shell running and execute python manage.py runserver at the same time. I mean when I stop Ctrl+C python server I don't receive my virtual enviroment (this happed in bash script ~ normally work fine).

However, server is start up, so it's virtual env. I tried with pipenv run command but it doesn't get inside virtual env at all.

Script:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/Documents/myprojects/Webber
code .
source $(pipenv --venv)/bin/activate
python manage.py runserver

My question is: How can I run command inside virtualenv in shell script and receive this subshell?

you can use the full path to the virtualenv folder instead of pipenv command. For example, if you created the virtual environment in you home directory called venv-webber:

source $HOME/venv-webber/bin/activate
