Integrated Terminal Not Successfully Activating pyenv-virtualenv

[rrigato]

Type: Bug

Downgrading extensions and disabling all extensions does not seem to make a difference when attempting to use a virtualenv with the integrated terminal.

steps to reproduce

1. Install pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv plugin

brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenv

2. Create virtualenv

pyenv install 3.9
pyenv virtualenv 3.9 lexicon

3. Select interpreter of virtualenv in vscode

4. Open terminal and observe that the integrated terminal is using the system python instead of the selected virtualenv:

python --version; which python

5. Note that manual activation sources the virtualenv

source ~/.pyenv/versions/3.9.21/envs/lexicon/bin/activate
python --version; which python 

replicated bug with downgraded extensions:

@rrigato Can you share the logs from Output > Python? That should have some clues as to why we are not activating.

[rrigato]

@karthiknadig Thanks for looking into this!

Is the below the correct logs? I ran the Python: Show Output command:

The logs seem to suggest the selected environment is different from the one you showed in the screenshot. But, in any case try this:

Add the following to your User settings.json, and Reload VS Code:

    "python.experiments.optOutFrom": ["pythonTerminalEnvVarActivation"]

@bgarvit01 is /usr/local/bin/python3 a valid python on the machine? Can you check if some setting in the remote settings.json is set to using that python?

[bgarvit01]

In remote-settings.json:

  "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "/usr/local/bin/python3",

But in Remote machine:

$ which python3
/bin/python3

Worked after removing the default interpreter path
