Testing #19883

My python3 is installed at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.

When I ran the command, it couldn’t find any installations and had automatically selected python 2, which was not working

Python interpreter path: ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/python
> ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.18/bin/python ~/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.15.12701023/pythonFiles/get_output_via_markers.py ~/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.15.12701023/pythonFiles/interpreterInfo.py
Starting Pylance language server.
[ERROR 2022-8-27 12:25:58.598]: Virtual env creation requires an interpreter.
Running Env creation script:  [
  '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3',
  '/Users/meganrogge/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.15.12701023/pythonFiles/create_venv.py',
  '--git-ignore',
  '--install'
]

Knowing I had installed python3, and had aliased it to python, I found the path of python3 and inserted it into the input box. The logs show that it succeeded after that.

I think I was over simplifying, I think we need to let the UI show. For the reason, that if the user only has python 2.7, then this is the only way they know. Also, the experience with showing discovery progress and selection is better with the select interpreter UI.

And yes, it did show up in the select interpreter dropdown this time

Thanks. I assume you mean the dropdown opened by Python: Select Interpreter.

@karthiknadig It seems to me that the bug is here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/blob/e23240eeea05f8830bd04b3812be121efde17177/src/client/pythonEnvironments/creation/provider/venvCreationProvider.ts#L133. We’re not checking whether a refresh is going on at the moment and automatically select the interpreter. We need to either wait for refresh to complete or always show the dropdown.
