Description
Description
After configuring a virtual environment with the latest Python CLI hooks and running the app it appears that the runtime cannot be found.
Version
Using slack.exe v3.9.0
OS Info
> ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.2538]
> pwsh --version
PowerShell 7.5.3
> python --version
Python 3.14.0
Steps to reproduce:
Share the commands to run, source code, and project settings:
- Create an app from the Bolt for Python starter template: http://github.com/slack-samples/bolt-python-starter-template
- Set up the virtual environment including hooks.
- Attempt to install and run a new app with the verbose flag.
Expected result:
The app to begin using the installed "python" runtime.
Actual result:
> slack run --team T02A074M3U3
> If you leave this team, you can no longer manage the installed apps
Installed apps will belong to the team if you leave the workspace
Check C:\Users\user\.slack\logs\slack-debug-20251031.log for error logs
The hook runtime executable was not found (runtime_not_found)
The `start` script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)
> Suggestion
Make sure the required runtime has been installed to run hook scripts.
From the verbose logs:
starting hook command: python3 -m slack_cli_hooks.hooks.get_hooks
P
ython was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases.
finished hook command: python3 -m slack_cli_hooks.hooks.get_hooks
failed to initialize hook configurations: Error running 'GetHooks' command: exit status 1 (sdk_hook_invocation_failed)
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases.
> Suggestion
Run `slack.exe doctor` to check that your system dependencies are up-to-date.

Research direction
Start with the Windows hook invocation shown in the verbose log: python3 -m slack_cli_hooks.hooks.get_hooks, and trace how the CLI selects the runtime executable. Verify the behavior with the listed Windows, PowerShell, and Python versions; done means the installed python runtime is found and the hook configuration initializes successfully.
