Conda/Jupyter issue error: "StdErr from ShellExec, 'Analysis'..."

Bug: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Editor cells

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Installed VSCode and Miniconda3 on Windows 10, making sure to add Miniconda3 to the PATH env variable
2. installed python extension for vscode
3. Created new conda env:

conda create -n itp_2020 python=3.6 jupyter scikit-learn seaborn pandas xlrd

1. selected itp_2020 python interpreter
2. opened existing/ created new ipynb and executed any cell

Actual behavior

Get the following error:

StdErr from ShellExec, 'Analysis' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. for C:/Users/bianc/miniconda3/Scripts/activate && conda activate itp_2020 && echo 'e8b39361-0157-4923-80e1-22d70d46dee6' && python c:\Users\bianc\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.6.90262\pythonFiles\pyvsc-run-isolated.py c:/Users/bianc/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2020.6.90262/pythonFiles/printEnvVariables.py

Expected behavior

Successfully start jupyter server and execute cell.

[DavidKutu]

I see, in the image you shared, your server has not started. Conda sometimes has issues activating outside of its prompt. Please try this:

• close VS Code
• open the Anaconda Prompt (not cmd.exe nor PowerShell)
• in the Anaconda Prompt, go to your project folder C:\Users\bianc\Desktop\itp\itp_spring_2020
• activate your environment: conda activate itp_2020
• run VS Code: code .
• try to run a cell

Please let me know if that works for you.

It works now. I put C:\Users\bianc\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin into System Variables and then ran code . in the Anacondaa Prompt. It took a while for Jupyter Server to report local but it seems to be working now. Thank you for your help!
