Terminal prompt for uv venv was weird

[fengye87]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Terminal prompt for uv venv was weird like vscode-python-uvfengye87@Fengs-MacBook-Pro vscode-python-uv % , which should be (vscode-python-uv) fengye87@Fengs-MacBook-Pro vscode-python-uv % like it would with venv created by python -m venv

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create project dir: mkdir vscode-python-uv && cd vscode-python-uv
2. Init project and create venv with uv: uv init && uv venv
3. Open project dir with VSCode and open terminal
4. The terminal prompt was expected to be like (vscode-python-uv) fengye87@Fengs-MacBook-Pro vscode-python-uv % , but instead it was vscode-python-uvfengye87@Fengs-MacBook-Pro vscode-python-uv %
