Terminals do not autoactivate when using workspace .conda environment

[louis-br]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

An error occurs when selecting the python interpreter for a conda enviroment in the current workspace (.conda). It prevents terminals from autoactivating, terminals will then open with the base environment. Possibly due to different use of local vs global paths.

This issue does not occur when using a named environment which is placed in C:\Users\User.conda\envs. However, ".conda" environments are not placed there! See logs below.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new conda environment in the current workspace (.conda)
2. Wait until the error appears in the Python Output panel.

Diagnostic data

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

[FengChendian]

Me,too.

Extension use wrong command conda run -n .conda to activate, so it can not find local conda.

Please try the pre-release version, it has some fixes for this.
