Type: Bug

Inspecting Output -> Python log (TRACE):

2024-08-02 15:21:20.631 [warning] could not find a pixi interpreter for the interpreter at /Users/pi/code/2024/spins/.venv/bin/python

I'm reporting this as I observed this warning while trying to solve a seemingly unrelated issue, which involves looking through the logs. And if I have three separate issues with my set up, it's difficult to prise them apart.

This particular message doesn't Google well, so if a VSCode engineer is kind enough to explain what's going on here, hopefully this issue will help future engineers in their debugging process.

I will also cross-link the other two issues I am simultaneously trying to resolve. Although I suspect the issues are unrelated, at least this will demonstrate the difficulty an engineer faces in trying to fix a problem in VSCode.
