(no bug): point devcontainer python interpreter at the correct path#7199
Merged
Conversation
python.defaultInterpreterPath was set to ${containerWorkspaceFolder}/.venv,
which is a directory. This worked fine for the previously installed Python
extension, which looked for a python binary in the provided directory, but
the newer ms-python.vscode-python-envs extension requires a more explicit
path.
While I hit this because I use VS Code Insiders, this change doesn't break
the path resolution for devs on regular VS Code. It's more explicit.
