Activating the venv on the new update

[ScionoicS]

With many major updates like this, sometimes launching causes issues. So i'll often just delete the venv and let the install script rebuild it. But then I have to go in and alter a few things like the cudnn dlls' in the torch/lib folder. Or installing a nightly build of xformers, or some library that an extension is saying it needs. For that we need to activate the venv.

So okay, after the update I did this, went to run /venv/scripts/Activate.ps1, and its no longer there at all. I'm sort of just clumsily figuring my way through python during this endeavour, and I don't know how I would go about activating the venv without these scripts.

Use activate.bat instead.

What I did is create a shortcut with the target C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k "venv\Scripts\activate.bat". It opens a cmd window with the venv activated.

Perhaps you misunderstood. I didn't have a problem running the activate script. I've always used activate.ps1 because I prefer powershell. Bat has worked too in the past.

I rebuilt the venv for the new folder and the newest update does not put any activate scripts, bat, ps1, nadda, into the scripts folder. I'm sure there's an easy way to activate a venv in python, but when I google the issue I get a milliion different ways of doing it that aren't seemingly applicable to this codebase. Anaconda i don't think is going to help me here.

Also wondering. This video How To Install Python, Setup Virtual Environment VENV, Set Default Python System Path & Install Git from [SECourses] (https://www.youtube.com/@SECourses) - with this video link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5U7LJOvH6g)

Still no answer on this? I rebuild the venv and the new folder has no activate scripts for windows users to activate the virtual environment.

I don't know python well enough to do a work around. I'm sure this is just one simple command. All google results seem to say that a venv folder should ALWAYS have those scripts.

Is this a bug or were these activation scripts removed for a reason?

Go to venv folder in stable diffusion / scripts / run activate.bat
(maybe restart sd completely) it works for me now.

for linux users, go to venv/bin. you can open a terminal in bin and then type in "source activate"
