Autostart of blackd does not work

[schakalakka]

Problem: Autostart not working (on Windows 10) even if

• "Start local blackd instance when plugin loads" is checked
• Path is manually set to C:\Users\myname.conda\envs\py310\Scripts\blackd (my conda virtual environment using python 3.10)

Remarks:

• Autodetection does not work (no black found in PATH or virtualenvs)
• Pressing "Start" does nothing. No error message.
• Running the blackd deamon by hand and connecting to it works fine.

That is interesting. I will try to replicate this on my Windows 10 machine.

I can confirm/reproduce this.

• Windows 10
• PyCharm 2022.2.3 (Community Edition)
• BlackConnect 0.5.0.
• black 19.10b0 (installed in the conda base environment C:\Users\<username>\Miniconda3\Scripts\blackd)

Same behaviour as for @schakalakka :

• Autodetect does not work
• Pressing "Start" does nothing

Running the blackd deamon by hand and connecting to it works fine:

    $ python -m blackd
    blackd version 19.10b0 listening on localhost port 45484

and I can connect on this port in BlackConnect.

Same here. I can't find the error report at the moment, but I think it said something about the child process terminating unexpectedly. Will edit and share if I can find it again.

I need to kill the zombie blackd process from task manager, then launch again from a terminal. After this I'm good until I restart my IDE.
