Actual behavior

Trying to debug or run a file loaded in vscode always tells me that I need to select an interpreter. After I do that, see the image below confirming that an interpreter is set:

I keep getting:

Expected behavior

Being able to run the file with the selected interpreter

What is "python.pythonPath" set to and what is the output if you run it from the command-line with -V?

This is not being reported by anyone else so this very likely is due to something unique on your system.

And what does conda env list output?

[brettcannon]

@glutanimate I don't think we ever officially supported it (I believe we do support ~, though, so you can switch to that). If you would like support for $[env:HOME} then please open an issue for that feature request.

FYI I am waiting to hear back from @ivannp about his settings. Everyone else asking for some {env: ...} support, please open a separate issue as a feature request.

@brettcanjon {env:HOME} is supported. Just like `{workspace folder}

Hi Brett,

Here is the output:

(C:\utils\anaconda3) C:\Users\ivannp>conda env list
# conda environments:
#
def                      C:\utils\anaconda3\envs\def
ib                       C:\utils\anaconda3\envs\ib
redeal                   C:\utils\anaconda3\envs\redeal
tensorflow               C:\utils\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow
root                  *  C:\utils\anaconda3

I am using the def environment both from command line and from Visual Studio. It's unlikely that there is any issue with it.

Also have tried different settings for python.pythonPath. Here is what I currently have in settings.json which shows in vscode:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "C:\\utils\\anaconda3\\envs\\def\\python.exe"
}

When I run it, I get:

(C:\utils\anaconda3) C:\Users\ivannp>"C:\\utils\\anaconda3\\envs\\def\\python.exe" --version
Python 3.6.6 :: Anaconda, Inc.

In addition, I removed other python.exe from the path - no success. Where is vscode loading the interpreter from? Are there any other places that it might be looking?

@brettcannon FYI the support of {env:...} was working on previous releases. That's what I meant in my report.

@ivannp @d0m72 please note that this was closed as a duplicate of another issue, so any updates should go on the other issue.
