antongromov@MacBook-Air etl % poetry shell 'name'...

It looks like you're running the poetry shell command in a terminal and then encountering a line that says:

'name'

This is unusual. Here's a breakdown of what might be happening and how to troubleshoot:

🛠️ Possible Causes & Fixes

1. Shell Entered Successfully but Prompt Looks Wrong

Sometimes after poetry shell, the terminal prompt changes and may display something unexpected like 'name' if your shell configuration (like .bashrc, .zshrc, or PowerShell profile) echoes a variable.

• Check your shell configuration files for any stray echo 'name' or similar lines.
• You can test this by launching a clean shell:

  bash
  bash --norc

  or

  bash
  zsh -f

2. pyproject.toml is Invalid

Poetry might try to read metadata like [tool.poetry.name] from pyproject.toml. If that is malformed or missing, poetry shell might behave unexpectedly.

• Check that your pyproject.toml has a valid [tool.poetry] section, including the name field:

  toml
  [tool.poetry]
  name = "your-project-name"

3. Incorrect Use of Python Script or Command Aliases

If you’re aliasing or running a wrapper script that includes something like:

python
print('name')

It might accidentally be triggered post-shell activation.

4. ZSH or Terminal Quirk

If you're using zsh or a custom shell prompt tool like starship, a misconfigured theme might lead to unusual output.

Try running poetry debug info to see if everything is properly set up.

✅ Suggested Steps to Resolve

1. Run poetry from a fresh terminal:

   bash
   poetry shell

2. Inspect pyproject.toml: Ensure it includes:

   toml
   [tool.poetry]
   name = "your-project-name"

3. Run poetry check to validate your project:

   bash
   poetry check

4. If the issue persists, share the full terminal output including what happens before and after you run poetry shell.

Let me know what terminal and shell you're using (e.g., zsh on macOS, bash, PowerShell, etc.), and I can tailor the guidance further.
