Previous Release: v0.14.1 (December 31, 2025)

🐛 Bug Fix: Poetry Virtualenv Detection

Problem:

  • RapidKit only looked for .venv in the project directory
  • Poetry by default creates virtualenvs in cache (~/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/)
  • This caused "no .venv found" errors even when dependencies were installed
  • Users had to manually run poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

Solution:

  • ✅ Added automatic Poetry virtualenv detection via poetry env info --path
  • ✅ Works seamlessly with Poetry's default configuration
  • ✅ Falls back to .venv if present in project directory
  • ✅ Visual feedback showing which virtualenv is being used

Changes:

  • Updated .rapidkit/cli.py.j2:
    • New _get_poetry_venv() helper function
    • Auto-detects Poetry virtualenv before checking .venv
    • Better error messages
  • Updated .rapidkit/rapidkit.j2:
    • Shell script now queries Poetry for virtualenv path
    • Sets correct paths for Poetry cache virtualenvs

Testing:

# Now works without any configuration!
rapidkit my-api --template fastapi
cd my-api
rapidkit init    # ✅ Installs to Poetry cache
rapidkit dev     # ✅ Detects and uses Poetry virtualenv

⬆️ Upgrade

npm install -g rapidkit@0.14.1
# or
npx rapidkit@0.14.1 my-api --template fastapi

✅ Quality Assurance

  • ✅ All 449 tests passing
  • ✅ Build successful
  • ✅ Tested with Poetry cache virtualenv
  • ✅ Tested with .venv in project
