Wrong environment selected in language status bar item after selecting Recreate Venv

[joyceerhl]

Testing #21878

1. Have a venv with Python 3.10
2. Recreate it through Create Environment command, choose to create it with Python 3.11
3. While creating, status bar says Python 3.11 🆒
4. 🐛 after showing confirmation toast saying that the current environment is selected, the status bar item reverts to Python 3.10

@joyceerhl Can you share the logs when this occurs. I just want to make sure that the selection is correct.

It seems to be some kind of caching issue, because if I load into the window, initially the status bar item says 3.10, then when I click on the status bar item, the picker displays some progress and then correctly updates to say 3.11

During environment recreation:

I can intermittently reproduce this issue on Windows, whether the Python version updates depends on whether VS Code sends us the creation and deletion events. It seems like the deletion & re-creation is so fast VS Code fires no event regarding the change, hence version isn't updated, can be confirmed from the logs.

Some options:

• Close it as limitation of VS Code watchers
• Have creation environment wait before re-creating
• Have create environment component signal to discovery component to reset env info

@karthiknadig I'll leave it up to you on what options we would like to go with here.

I would go with this option:

• Have create environment component signal to discovery component to reset env info

Basically an internal api that we cause use to trigger forced update of environment info.

Because we have not heard back with the information we requested, we are closing this issue for now. If you are able to provide the info later on, then we will be happy to re-open this issue to pick up where we left off.

Happy Coding!
