Pyright is not finding imports from libraries in a virtualenv

Question

pyright reports both missing imports (could not be resolved) and general type errors (unknown import symbol). These libraries all exist -- I can run the code in ipython without errors. I'm using poetry to manage my virtual environment. My venv is active.

The virtualenv info:

Virtualenv
Python:         3.10.1
Implementation: CPython
Path:           /Users/jayed/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/create-cluster-PmxHvHbg-py3.10
Valid:          True

My pyrightconfig.json

{
  "venvPath": "/Users/jayed/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs",
  "venv": "create-cluster-PmxHvHbg-py3.10"
}

pyright output

You can create a pyrightconfig.json file (or toml alternative) in your project root and add the two fields to it

{
  "venvPath": "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_ENVS",
  "venv": "ENV_NAME"
}

where the venvPath and venv are both needed and they will eventually be concatenated as the full path to your specific env named venv.
