Fix No such file or directory on conda activate

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.54.3
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.3.680753044
• OS and version: linux x64 5.9.16-1
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.9.2 conda 4.9.2
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): conda
• Relevant/affected Python-related VS Code extensions and their versions: Jupyter v2021.3.684299474
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: Jedi

Expected behaviour

for the command ‘. activate’ to work in integrated terminal. (but the source command DOES work!- i.e source activate & conda activate)

Actual behaviour

. activate returns an error: No such file or directory, but weirdly enough - the command will work after deactivating the environment:

Steps to reproduce:

1. . activate conda_env_name

Consequence

This is actually affecting a error when using the jupyter extension: whenever I need to activate a virtual environment other than base in a notebook, the following command is used:

. activate mech && echo etc.

returning a command failed message saying: activate: No such file or directory.

I’ve had this problem in the past, and it disappeared for a while, but now it’s back. Also, a weird observation: if code is called from terminal, this issue does not happen.
