2024.20.0 python extension is unable to find poetry virtual environment if workspace is on a different drive than `C` (virtual env is cached on different drive than workspace)

[kompre]

Type: Bug

EDIT 2024/12/04: Upon revision I had to go back to version v2024.10.0 for virtual env to be detected on mapped drive, no solution for samba share type path

Behaviour

I'm using poetry to handle virtual environment and prior to version 2024.20.0 2024.10.0? of the python extension, all worked fine.

With the 2024.20.0 vscode it's unable to find the virtual environment if the the workspace is located in a different drive than the C:\. I've tried with creating a workspace on D:\ (a partition on the same sdd) (actually this works), on Z:\ (a mapped drive), and on \\fileserver\ (a samba drive on the network): nothing work except for a workspace on the C:\ drive (which is where the main OS is installed, and so python and the poetry cache)

Each of the above case used to work, and indeed downgrading to earlier version (2024.18.1 v2024.10.0) fix the issue for mapped drive (samba share \\fileserver\ still missing in action).

Steps to reproduce:

to NOT detect poetry virtual env

1. upgrade to version 2024.20.0 of python extension
2. create a workspace on a MAPPED drive different from where python is installed and poetry cache are installed.
3. create a virtual environment with poetry in the workspace
4. go to the python tab in vscode and check that no virtual environment is detected.

to detect poetry virtual env

1. downgrade python extension to v2024.10.0
2. virtual env is present

@kompre That view is from donjayamanne.python-environment-manager extension, https://github.com/DonJayamanne/vscode-python-manager

The issue still could be in the python extension, can you share the output from "Python Environments" channel?

Upon revision, the situation seems to be slightly different from what I described yesterday:

• workspace created on D:\ (different partition on the same sdd) detect poetry virtual env also with version v2024.20.0 of the Python extension
• for mapped network drive (e.g. \\fileserver\home ---> X:\) I had to go back to v2024.10.0 to actually detect the virtual environment
• for non mapped network drive (e.g. \\fileserver\home) is still not working (at this point I am doubting it ever worked, and maybe I just misremembering)

I usually work on the D:\ drive and on mapped network drives.

NOTE: I've amended the original post to reflect on my further findings

@kompre In your settings do you have python.venvFolders set? And what does it say for the python.locator setting?

[kompre]

I've upgraded again to v2024.20.0 and checked:

• in settings.json (user settings) there is no python.venvFolders or python.locator
• in defaultsettings.json (default settings):

  • `"python.locator": "native",`
    

  • `"python.venvFolders": [],`
    

• in .vscode/settings.json (folder settings) there is nothing, literally empty
• in .code-workspace (workspace settings) there is only this:

{
    "folders": [
        {
            "path": "."
        }
    ],
    "settings": {}
}

To be sure I've downgraded to v2024.10.0 but didn't notice any change in user settings.

Also having this problem, fixed by downgradeing to 2024.10. Tried adding the condapath and default interpretter to my workspace settings, nothing. Clicking on a virtual environment on a mapped drive produces a failed to initialize error.

{
"python.condaPath": "W:\[...]\Miniforge3\Scripts\conda.exe",
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "W:/[.../venv/python.exe"
}

[karthiknadig]

Can you also share the logs from Output > Python locator? This looks like the native locator (pet ) is not getting the right defaults to poetry or conda in these cases.
