Win 11 Render to HTML w/ Python Error

[chaz-clark]

Anyone come across this error when rendering a file with python in it in a win 11 machine?

PS C:\Users\…\OneDrive\Desktop\250 again> quarto preview "c:/Users/ADAMS/OneDrive/Desktop/250 again/pro0.qmd" --to html --no-browser --no-watch-inputs
ERROR: The file cannot be accessed by the system. (os error 1920), stat 'C:\Users\…\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python3.9.exe'
PS C:\Users\ADAMS\OneDrive\Desktop\250 again>

Can you run quarto check on your system ?

I am also seeing you are working on One Drive. There may issue with that as potential access conflict could happen between your OneDrive tool do auto saving of docs, and quarto process needing to watch and possible modify doc.

Can you try same project and command with project not on One drive ?

Also Quarto 1.3 pre-release is available and you could try that to see if solved.

[chaz-clark]

I will give these a try and report back. Thanks, Chaz

I was able to reproduce the os error 1920 in my own win 11 environment, in my case it was reproduced when python 3 was installed via the Microsoft store. After uninstalling that version and installing from python.org this error was resolved. However another error has taken its place, the Checking Jupyter engine render .... step stalls and does not progress. A .ipynb file is generated when a .qmd file is rendered but it too stalls and no .html file is created.

Possibly related, we currently have a conflict with a newer version of one element of the jupyter toolchain. Check your version in case it could be that here that stalls - See #4122 and #4128

[chaz-clark]

Note: downgrading to Quarto 1.2.313 results in the same stalling as noted above.

[cscheid]

Yes, this is a duplicate of #4122.

[chaz-clark]

@cscheid I was able to pin the client as proposed in #4122, this resolved the quarto check hang up. However, when I test rendering a Quarto file, it still hangs up on the rendering process. It creates the .ipynb file but stops there. There is no output after the initial command. Are there other libraries that need pinned as well?

[cscheid]

Can you provide an example that fails with quarto render that is as small as you can make it?

[cderv]

jupyter-client was updated to 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue they had and was hanging quarto.
We also have a fix on latest 1.2 (https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/tag/v1.2.329) and 1.3 quarto version. So I believe the issue related to #4122 is fixed, even on windows. I cannot reproduce it.
@chaz-clark please do open a new issue with a reproducible example using updated versions. Thank you !

[chaz-clark]

Thanks I will test the updates and open a new window for that issue if it is still not resolved

Hi, I have same error.
First, quarto check cannot find python.

So I saw Python directory and there are no py.exe.

Note: This python executable is installed from Microsoft store.

Therefore, set environment value and run quarto check again. It reproduces same error.

[xhiroga]

Setting $Env:QUARTO_PYTHON=C:\Users\hiroga\miniconda3\python.exe fixes this program in Powershell.

However, Quarto VSCode extension still does not work. I guess that the extension overrides QUARTO_PYTHON.
Below is the log from VSCode extension...

[mcanouil]

You can set the Python interpreter path in VSCode.
Go to the settings and search for that.

@mcanouil Thanks a lot!!! It requires nbformat and nbclient packages, but finally it works in my case!
