ipykernel invalid install path with Git Bash, requires pressing cancel on a notification to start the install

[rzhao271]

Testing #8359

My interpreter and kernel are both using the same Python install under AppData.
I'm guessing Git Bash requires / or \\ as directory separators here:

@rzhao271
Please could you go into the settings and enable verbose logging for Jupyter extension and try this again, then Please could you provide the logs from the Jupyter output panel?

[rzhao271]

After enabling logging, the terminal has the same error message, but the output panel has the following:

Info 10:34:17: Cancel pending cells
Info 10:34:17: Cell 0 executed with state Idle
Info 10:34:18: Process Execution: > ~\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python.exe -c "import ipykernel"

Info 10:34:20: Got result from python installer for ipykernel, result = 2

However, after I press the cancel button, the Installing ipykernel notification shows up again, and this time it successfully does a force reinstall of ipykernel:

Info 10:34:20: Got result from python installer for ipykernel, result = 2
Info 10:35:22: Got result from python installer for ipykernel, result = 2 <- this is when I pressed cancel

At the very end of the reinstall, the kernel dies

}

But I'm able to continue with the testplan item afterwards, and verify that ipykernel was successfully installed.

@rzhao271 Thanks, I believe i've identified the issue.

[DonJayamanne]

@rzhao271 please could you try this again today, with the latest jupyter vsix.

[rzhao271]

LGTM!

[DonJayamanne]

I think we can then close this issue, please feel free to re-open if still repros or doesn't work as expected.
