Failed to switch environment #25556
Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
- VS Code Version: 1.102.0
- OS Version: ubuntu 22.04
Steps to Reproduce:
- Switch to the environment created by venv (python3 -m venv cs)。
- install the dependency package in the terminal of VSCode. The expectation is that the package will be installed in the virtual environment (cs), but in reality, it is installed in the path (~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages), resulting in the installation package being unusable.
- there is not cs environment in the sys.path.
- If you manually switch environments in the terminal of VSCode（source ~/venv/cs/bin/activate）, everything will work normally.

Hi! Can you try adding the setting
python.useEnvironmentsExtension, reload the page and try again? Let me know if this changes the behavior at all as this should help me narrow down the root cause. Thanksgithub-actions commentedon Dec 6, 2025
