Interactive window selects the wrong interpreter in multi folder workspace

Bug: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Editor cells

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. Open a workspace with multiple folders and each has a different Python interpreter.

   • From folder settings of first folder:

     "python.pythonPath": "/Users/ironfoot/.local/share/virtualenvs/hub-aNnxaMau/bin/python"
     

   • From folder settings of the folder I’m trying to run interactive window:

     "python.pythonPath": "/usr/local/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/turihub/bin/python",
     

2. Install jupyter in the folder I’m trying to run interactive window.

   (turihub) [ironfoot@:~] pip show ipykernel
   Name: ipykernel
   Version: 5.3.4
   Summary: IPython Kernel for Jupyter
   Home-page: https://ipython.org
   Author: IPython Development Team
   Author-email: [e-mail]
   License: BSD
   Location: /usr/local/Caskroom/miniconda/base/envs/turihub/lib/python3.8/site-packages
   Requires: tornado, appnope, jupyter-client, ipython, traitlets
   Required-by: qtconsole, notebook, jupyter, jupyter-console, ipywidgets
   

3. Open a Python file from a folder that has jupyter installed.

4. Right click on the file and select “Run current file in Python Interactive Window”.

Actual behavior

• Popup that says “Data Science library ipykernel is not installed. Install?”
• If I click yes, same popup appears again.
• If I click yes again, “Could not install ipykernel. If pip is not available, please use the package manager of your choice to manually install this library into your Python environment.”
• Toggle developer window > Console

Could not install ipykernel. If pip is not available, please use the package manager of your choice to manually install this library into your Python environment.
... omitted ...
IPyKernel not installed into interpreter Python 3.7.4 64-bit ('hub': pipenv)

Here, “hub” is the pipenv setup in the first folder which does not have jupyter.

Expected behavior

VSCode should have used the interpreter in the currently opened file/folder which does have jupyter installed.

Your Jupyter and/or Python environment

• Jupyter server running: N/A (meant to be local but never started)
• Extension version: 2020.8.109390
• VS Code version: 1.49.1
• Setting python.jediEnabled: false
• Setting python.languageServer: Pylance
• Python and/or Anaconda version: The first folder: Python 3.7.4, The folder I’m running in: Python 3.8.5
• OS: Mac
• Virtual environment: The first folder: venv, The folder I’m running in: conda

Copying just the tail end, entire thing is very long.

@IanMatthewHuff To be exact I am seeing two different issues at the same time. One is that the wrong interpreter is selected which is what I described above. The other is that even if the wrong interpreter is selected it shouldn’t fail installing ipykernel which it what you described.

Attaching the logs.

python.log

This is weird. I tried what you said and it works correctly. Then I closed VSCode, restarted it as I usually do with spotlight search, and it works correctly. The only thing I really did is installing ‘code’ in path (through command palette). I’ll see if I can create a minimal example to reproduce the issue. But otherwise, the issue disappeared. Either way, thanks for looking into this.
