VS Code Terminal Cannot Find Numpy. VS Code Interactive Can

Issue Type: Bug

Running .py files which import numpy is no longer possible using ‘Run Python File in Terminal’. The same files can be run in the same environment using ‘Run Current File in Interactive Window’.

Attempting to run in Terminal generates

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

    https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.9 from "C:\Users\kbrady\Anaconda3\envs\py39\python.exe"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.20.1"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: DLL load failed while importing _multiarray_umath: The specified module could not be found.

Running the same file, using the same environment via ‘Run Current File in Interactive Window’ runs with no errors. Seems possibly related to #17278 ?

The 3 steps work BUT this way I have to re-add all my folders to my workspace every time. If close and reopen VSCode the problem is back.

If it does not help, another thing to try is this:

1. Anaconda prompt and cd to your workspace.
2. Activate the environment using conda activate
3. Start VS Code using code .
