Hey thanks for reporting this. We've seen some reports of this for mac only. If you run

/Applications/ComfyUI.app/Contents/Resources/uv/macos/uv venv --python 3.12.4

in your terminal, does it do anything?

The terminal when it's shows "Setting up Python environment..." is not interactive. Which terminal did you type chsh -s /bin/zsh into?

I have a similar issue, no error message, just stuck, but mine is most likely related to me installing on an external drive that is removed. Uninstall does not seem to resolve it, however, I might not be removing all critical parts.

Running the command above results in:

I encountered the same issue, with the latest version being 0.3.30.
I found that bash-3.2$ is the bash version of my root user, which means will comfyui-desktop use the root user's python environment?
But the problem is that I have already set zsh as the default shell, and when starting comfyui-desktop, it used bash instead, resulting in the above warning, and then nothing happened.

I executed /Applications/ComfyUI.app/Contents/Resources/uv/macos/uv venv --python 3.12.4 under the root bash environment:

bash-3.2# /Applications/ComfyUI.app/Contents/Resources/uv/macos/uv venv --python 3.12.4
Using CPython 3.12.4
Creating virtual environment at: .venv
Activate with: source .venv/bin/activate

It seems there are no problem. I see that this issue has been closed, but it's still present in the latest version, I don't know which version will fix this problem?

We updated the default shell on mac to be zsh now, and also added some bug fixes for uv python install that was freezing on some setups. Can you try again?
