Pytest fails to use the correct conda environment path for testing

Issue Type: Bug

Pytest discover tests

I get error: EnvironmentLocationNotFound: Not a conda environment: C:\Conda\envs\swp10\envs\swp10 because the true path is just; C:\Conda\envs\swp10\

I have this same problem, but in wsl. The conda environment name is dev162 located at “/home/aravia1/miniconda3/envs/dev162/” but it is looking for the environment at “/home/aravia1/miniconda3/envs/dev162/envs/dev162” and fails.

As weird as it sounds, i just tried creating a symlink at the path “/home/aravia1/miniconda3/envs/dev162/envs/dev162” and the tests gets discovered 🤷.

Symlink:

ln -s ~/miniconda3/envs/dev162/ ~/miniconda3/envs/dev162/envs/dev162

Successful test discovery:

> conda run -n dev162 --no-capture-output python ~/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.12.1/pythonFiles/get_output_via_markers.py ~/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.12.1/pythonFiles/printEnvVariables.py

Created a bug on conda: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/12082, feel free to upvote that to raise priority. Closing in favor of conda.
