• VS Code version: 1.30.2
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2019.1.0
• OS and version: Windows 7
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python 3.7.1, anaconda
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): conda
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: numpy

Expected behaviour

Test runs in debug mode

Actual behaviour

When “Debug Test” is selected from within the editor above a unittest the known error message from #3330 is shown

Steps to reproduce:

• install anaconda
• create py3.6 and py3.7 environments
• install vscode, python extension
• open a folder of a python project using numpy with testing, enable testing, select the environment and click “Debug Test” above a test method of a test case from within the editor.

It’s ridiculous that this is still not fixed after 1.5 years. I just spent an hour to find out that this is an open bug. Conda users are completely ignored here. This problem can easily be reproduced. Looks like I have to switch the editor which really is a pitty. I was hoping that things would improve now that this extension was officially taken over by Microsoft but does not look like.

This bug is still an issue for me, and I have not been able to find a good work-around.
