Python Terminal is not finding conda env, even so interpreter is found

[michaelaye]

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.19.3
Python Extension version: 2018.1.0
Python Version: 3.6.4 (conda-forge, conda 4.4.8)
OS and version: macOS 10.12.6

Actual behavior

Command-Palette: Python: Create Terminal
Opens terminal, it is trying to activate conda env using "source activate stable", according to my activated Conda env, but it errors:

source activate stable

┌─( ~/D/s/planetpy λ:master | ✱ ◼ 3ebce8e )────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────( @MacL2938 )─┐
└─❱❱❱ source activate stable                                                                                   +7509 13:55 ❰─┘
source: no such file or directory: activate

Expected behavior

Terminal opens with activate conda environment

Steps to reproduce:

• Manually choose Python interpreter to be a conda env, with conda 4.4.x

Logs

Output from Python output panel

no related output

Note, that pylint is being found, but maybe the package is directly going to the bin path without required path settings via the conda script to work?
Also note, that since conda 4.4.x the default command to activate an env has changed to conda activate <env_name>, even so the developers announced that the previous command should still work.

• What is the value of the setting python.pythonPath in your workspace settings file (.vscode/settings.json)?

Please type the following commands separately in your terminal widow (outside vscode) and let me know what you get:

• conda info --json
• conda env list

[michaelaye]

• pythonPath:

[DonJayamanne]

Please could you try the following:

• Go into the command palette Python: Select Interpreter
• Check whether the environment stable is listed in the above list of interpreters (please take a screen shot)
• Delete all existing terminals, click the command Python: Create Terminal, let me know what you get in there.

[michaelaye]

Hm, I was not sure how to delete all existing terminals, so I restarted VSCode. Now I cannot reproduce the problem anymore.
As expected, the used source activate stable does now activate the correct path for the terminal created via "Python: Create Terminal".
Sorry for the noise and thanks for the help!

[DonJayamanne]

@michaelaye Thanks for getting back on this.
