I’ve been working on a project for a while but all of a sudden my .venv broke. Initially it created duplicates of a bunch of files inside .venv/lib, (e.g. file, file 2, file 3, ...), so I deleted the venv and decided to recreate it: uv venv .venv. Upon recreating it, it's fine for about a second, and then the whole .venv/lib directory gets deleted. I have no clue what could be causing this but its really frustrating, and I've explored a bunch of things: It seems to be only happen in this project directory If I call the venv any other name, it doesn't happen It seems to happen whether or not Pycharm is active (my editor) Also happens if I create the venv with python -m venv .venv It is also in my .gitignore. I've tried using some other directory watching tools but find the output too confusing/too precise the processes modifying it which seem to be mac-OS processes like fileproviderd. Any ideas of what it could be or other things I could try to track it down would be greatly appreciated! Continue reading...
