miniforge environments can not be detected

[rebornix]

Type: Bug

I was trying to build https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python and set up miniforge environments. However after environment set up properly, Python extension can not detect them.

Here is what I have in the .conda folder

(.venv) lvpeng@lvpengdeAir .conda % cat environments.txt 
/Users/lvpeng/miniforge3/envs/llama
/Users/lvpeng/miniforge3

@rebornix Please can you try the latest version of the Python extension and see if the miniforge ptyon is discovered?
@karthiknadig do we officially support miniforge?

[karthiknadig]

No, we don't officially support miniforge. (Plug for env extension) Interested developers can now contribute support for this using APIs from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python-environments extension.
