which

Print the full path to an executable inside a scoop environment, the same way pyenv which resolves binaries.

Usage

scoop which <exe> [--env <name>] [--json]

Arguments

Argument	Required	Description
`exe`	Yes	Executable name to locate (e.g. `python`, `pip`, `pytest`)

Options

Option	Description
`--env <name>`	Look in this environment instead of the active one
`--json`	Output as JSON

Resolution Order

--env <name> if provided
$SCOOP_ACTIVE (set by scoop activate / scoop shell)
.scoop-version (local → parents → global)

If none of those resolve to a real virtualenv (e.g. system Python or no configuration), the command fails with No active environment.

On Windows, the lookup also probes .exe, .bat, and .cmd extensions.

Examples

scoop which python                 # active env's python
scoop which pytest --env myenv     # explicit env
scoop which python --json          # JSON: { exe, env, path }

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Path printed to stdout
1	No active env / env missing / executable not in env’s bin/
