multiroot-workspace-wide "pythonPath" setting is not respected through all folders if it's a relative path

See original GitHub issue

I have one VSC workspace with multiple folders. There is no settings.json or .vscode folder(s), just a single .code-workspace file with all settings, launch and other workspace settings. Here is my folder structure:

folder1/:
- <package 1>/
- wks/:
  - dev.code-workspace
  - venv/
folder2/:
- <package 2>/
folder3/:
- <package 3>/ …

I want to use venv from folder1 in all folders/packages added to dev.code-workspace, so I set workspace-wide python interpretter setting to python in venv. As it currently works, venv is detected, selected and activated properly for folder1, but not for others. Others report missing python interpretter path setting and therefore also doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thank you for the clarification! We do have a lot of room for improvement for multiroot workspace support. I marked this issue as preexisting since it’s not anything new that was introduced in a recent release.

Closing in favor of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/18650, relative paths are no longer needed.
