Activated Virtualenv in commands but the bracket is not showing in the directory [Python]

I am trying to learn django. In VS code, I have installed pip and virtualenv.

I created a env folder by using virtualenv command. 

$ virtualenv env

To activate virtual environment, I ran the command below.

$ source env/bin/activate

The result I was expecting to see was I see the little brackets in front of directory address as below:

dhkang@dhkang-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S145-15API ~/fastcampus/django
 % (env)

However, I do not see any brackets to indicate that the virtual environment is being activated.

dhkang@dhkang-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S145-15API ~/fastcampus/django
 % source env/bin/activate

However, I do not see (env) here. I don't know if the virtual environment is activated or not.

Does anyone know how to resolve to show the brackets when virtual environment is activated?

Solution

  • Now, I resolved my issue.

    It was one of zsh settings that I could never imagine as I am fairly new to Linux.

    What I did was trying out other shell types like bash. I tried bash as default terminal and the bracket indicating it's on virtual environment was showing.

    In the end, I have installed oh-my-zsh and changed the theme 'agnoster'. Now, anywhere in terminal or VScode clearly show the brackets. With regards to oh-my-zsh, refer to the link https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh
