Bug description

I created a virtual environment “tensorflow” with tensorflow module by Anaconda. When I directly opened VScode and run the following program in Jupyter extension:

import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)

The Jupyter extension reminded as following:

No module named 'tensorflow'

When I opened VScode from Anaconda and run the program, from Jupyter extension reminded me as following at the bottom right corner:

StdErr from ShellExec, Did not find path entry D:\Anaconda\bin for D:/Anaconda/Scripts/activate && conda activate base && echo 'e8b39361-0157-4923-80e1-22d70d46dee6' && python c:\Users\kh\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.11.371526539\pythonFiles\pyvsc-run-isolated.py c:/Users/kh/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2020.11.371526539/pythonFiles/printEnvVariables.py

But when I used python extension to run the program, and whether I opened VScode from Anaconda or not, the Python debug console reminded me as follow:

PS D:\seafile\VScode>  cd 'd:\seafile\VScode'; & 'D:\Anaconda\envs\tensorflow\python.exe' 'c:\Users\kh\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.11.371526539\pythonFiles\lib\python\debugpy\launcher' '50887' '--' 'd:\seafile\VScode\hhh.py'

2.3.1
PS D:\seafile\VScode>

I put this question in VScode-Juypter repo but be recommended to open a new issue in VScode-python repo. I hope someone can solve this question. Thanks!

@neuromechanist @pierre01 @ayman-aa1405810 @christina-0725 We believe we have resolved this issue, please could you install the following Python extension to test the fix & let us know how it goes. https://pvsc.blob.core.windows.net/extension-builds-jupyter-public/ms-python-insiders.vsix

• Download VSIX
• Install the vsix using the command Extensions: Install from VSIX

And this time, I notice that it is needed to choose the environment from the upper right corner which is from Jupyter extension. And after I choose the right environment and restart the program, everything works well. Thanks for your help!

Yes, this worked for me as well. I have not tried the VSIX approach though. Thanks for sharing the solutions
