virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts could not find get_env_details

Question

When I run mkvirtualenv TESTING:

New python executable in TESTING/bin/python2.7
Also creating executable in TESTING/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts could not run "/Users/admin/.virtualenvs/TESTING/bin/preactivate": [Errno 2] No such file or directory

A similar error appears when I run lsvirtualenv:

bpython-dev
===========
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts could not run
"/Users/admin/.virtualenvs/bpython-dev/bin/get_env_details": [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I've checked into the .virtualenvs/bpython-dev/ (and other virtual envs) to see if get_env_details is there, and it is.

This problem happened after I performed Migration Assistant with Time Machine on Mavericks.

I'm using Python 2 installed with Homebrew. which python yields usr/local/bin/python and which pip yields usr/local/bin/pip.

My .bash_profile:

# Load /usr/local/ before /usr/bin/
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH


# Load the default .profile
[[ -s "$HOME/.profile" ]] && source "$HOME/.profile"

It's a bit late for an actual answer but I hope it helps someone with the same problem in the future.

What actually happened:

• I did a fresh install of the OS.

• I used Migration Assistant to migrate my data from Time Machine. I believe this step corrupted my environment and paths.

The solution was to use macOS Recovery and choose "Restore from Time Machine".
