Unresolved import of local python file if main script is not at root of workspace

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.47.3-1
• Extension version: v2020.7.96456
• OS and version: manjaro linux
• Python version: python 3.8 64 bit
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: Microsoft, Pylance

Issue:

When importing your own python modules which are in the workspace folder, but the main script is not in the root directory of the workspace folder, the imports are unresolved.

Steps to reproduce:

{workspacefolder}
    /project1
        main.py
        module.py

main.py:

from module import f
y=f(3)

module.py:

def f(x):
    return 2*x

Temporary solution

Select project1 as the workspacefolder or add project1 to the workspace

Try adding a .vscode/settings.json file to your workspace root. Inside the file:

{ "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": ["./path/to/module/code"] }

I think you can use asterisk to select all files in the “project1” folder.

I am having the same issue with module imports not being resolved (module is in same directory as source file doing the import). Here’s what I see based on language server configuration:

Jedi - works fine, no errors Microsoft - unresolved-import Pylance - reportMissingImports

This started happening within the last 30-45 days I believe.

Here’s my VSC About info:
