The conda environment doesn't work with test explorer

[xarpy]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

I participated in some projects that use python version 2.7 and the Pyramid framework. As all my environments are managed through miniconda3, I just create the specific environments for each project from their requirements.

However, I have noticed some instability in the vscode to be able to debug some projects, which use python, since 2 last updates.

Now during some routine tests, as I always had the habit of running the debugger and creating breakpoints, as well as running the tests from the editor, I'm not succeeding anymore.

This my launch.json for the project reference:

{
	"configurations": [
		{
			"name": "Python: Pyramid Application",
			"type": "python",
			"request": "launch",
			"module": "pyramid.scripts.pserve",
			"args": ["--reload", "${workspaceFolder}/development.ini"],
			"pyramid": true,
			"jinja": true,
			"justMyCode": true
		}
	]
}

Trying to run the debugger I can't get any kind of output, but running the Plugin Test Explorer UI + Python Test Explorer, which always worked before, now doesn't work!

Please note that I can activate the python environments created by conda normally from vscode, as well as run all the tests in a terminal:

conda run -n project_name --no-capture-output --live-stream python ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/get_output_via_markers.py ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/testing_tools/run_adapter.py  pytest -- --rootdir . -s --cache-clear

Seeing as you can run it manually, it might be an issue with the debugger not being able to attach to your miniconda interpreter, or because your code isn't being recognised as your own because you're running it with miniconda. Try debugging with 'justMyCode': false and see if that works. If so, this may be a duplicate of #19871.

[xarpy]

Hi @EzraEn1 , one of the approaches suggested in some comments was to downgrade to previous versions of the ms-python package, to version v2022.2.1924087327, This solved my problem partially, but I will test with these recommendations and try to understand the scenarios better.

[xarpy]

Hi @EzraEn1 and @karrtikr , the solution with this property does not work, because vsocde does not work in debug mode with the last update and conda, but if you change to the previous version of the ms-python package, as I suggested in the last post, it works, however now tests do not work anymore!

I am currently using the latest version of conda, 22.9.0, but still no success.

Hey @DonJayamanne , any suggestions?

[karrtikr]

This might be that when run in VS Code it is not running in a activated environment. Can you try this?

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

related #10626

If that doesn't work, please change the setting terminal.integrated.inheritEnv to false as outlined in https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_36#_launch-terminals-with-clean-environments.

[karrtikr]

Also, can you run

conda run -n project_name --no-capture-output --live-stream python ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/get_output_via_markers.py ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/testing_tools/run_adapter.py  pytest -- --rootdir . -s --cache-clear

in VSCode terminal and send me the output. Make sure to expand ~.

Hi @karrtikr, I followed these steps but was not successful, see the recording below, when I tried running vscode with conda enabled manually and accessing the project folder with vscode from the terminal::

[xarpy]

Also, can you run

conda run -n project_name --no-capture-output --live-stream python ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/get_output_via_markers.py ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/testing_tools/run_adapter.py  pytest -- --rootdir . -s --cache-clear

in VSCode terminal and send me the output. Make sure to expand ~.

conda run -n project_name --no-capture-output --live-stream python ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.16.0/pythonFiles/get_output_via_markers.py ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.16.0/pythonFiles/testing_tools/run_adapter.py  pytest -- --rootdir . -s --cache-clear

(See above for error)

But if I run it in the old version, as talked about earlier, the debugger works but the tests don't, only if they are run manually from the terminal.

[karrtikr]

Debugger doesn't work as we no longer support debugging for Python below 3.7, please upvote #19559 if you would like to see us bring it back.

[karrtikr]

For the testing issue it seems we're not able to parse the arguments correctly when run in terminal as it looks like here: #19873 (comment)

Reassigning as that's testing related.

[karrtikr]

@xarpy Can you run the following command instead of #19873 (comment)?

conda run -n project_name --no-capture-output --live-stream python ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/get_output_via_markers.py ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2022.14.0/pythonFiles/testing_tools/run_adapter.py discover pytest -- --rootdir . -s --cache-clear

[karrtikr]

@xarpy Also try to open a new terminal and install pytest again:

python -m pip install pytest

Ensure conda environment is activated before the above command is run, should look something similar to:

[karrtikr]

Because we have not heard back with the information we requested, we are closing this issue for now. If you are able to provide the info later on then we will be happy to re-open this issue to pick up where we left off.
