Expected behaviour

Jupyter kernel to start whenever code in a cell is run

Actual behaviour

Visual Studio is declaring that the Datascience libraries jupyter and notebook are missing:

Attempt to install locks up with the message:

The terminal reports:

This is despite the fact that both python and jupyter are installed:

Instructions from https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/blob/master/PYTHON_INTERACTIVE_TROUBLESHOOTING.md did not make any difference
did not suggest any remedy that fits the problem

Looks like a problem handling the space in the user folder name...

Looks to me like the space is messing up the run isolated stuff.

Visual Studio used to work perfectly till about 10 days ago. Did any update change this behaviour?

Here's the workaround while the spaces issue paths and file names across windows programs gets resolved:

• uninstall anaconda and visual studio

• download from https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual and install anaconda as as administrator for all users (so that it goes to "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3" that has no spaces

• download and install visual studio system installer from https://code.visualstudio.com/Download so that it goes into "C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code" that visual studio seems to be able to handle

• run Visual studio, install the python extension and the anaconda extension

Now things work as they did before.

It is evident that some code in visual studio and anaconda is broken if some filenames or paths have spaces. I hope that is fixed soon.

As far as I can tell this is fixed. The paths were not quoted properly.
