While creating virtual environment VS Code does not prompt with venv notification

[JoshuaPartlow]

Hi @Debkmr - Just to confirm, you're not seeing a VS Code notification that a virtual environment has been created? The one that should offer to let you set it as the default for the workspace?

[Debkmr]

Yes, you got it right there, can you tell me how could I fix that. I am using python 3.9 version.

I faced this issue earlier when vscode was running too many processes at the same time, so the notification comes a little late

[Debkmr]

I am not sure, I am still looking for a work around.

Is your vscode the latest version?

[Debkmr]

Yes, latest VS code and python 3.9 From: Aryan Kapoor <notifications@github.com> Sent: 05 November 2020 10:04 To: microsoft/vscode-docs <vscode-docs@noreply.github.com> Cc: Debasish Karmakar <DKarmakar@LaunchCG.com>; Mention <mention@noreply.github.com> Subject: [External Email] Re: [microsoft/vscode-docs] While creating virtual environment VS Code does not prompt with venv notification (#4101) Is your vscode the latest version? — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.

One more question, are you able to activate the environment from the VS Code prompt? I notice in your image that it failed, but it also looks like the environment name wasn't right in that attempt venv vs .venv. Thanks!

[Debkmr]

I tried with .venv and venv as well.

Small thing to check, but when you run activate, are you definitely running activate.ps1 (vs activate.bat). Can you try running with the full extension .venv\scripts\activate.ps1

[Debkmr]

This is the error I am getting

Hi @Debkmr - That's an expected issue when running a PowerShell script as execution is restricted by default. You can read about the issue and some solutions here. Essentially, I believe you can either change the execution policy for the process (as discussed in the VS Code Python tutorial here) or there's also a Windows setting you can change to allow the running of local unsigned PowerShell scripts (start -> search developer settings -> PowerShell) in general. Alternatively, you could use CMD as your integrated terminal with the .bat file instead of PowerShell. Does that help?

If this is still an ongoing issue, please reopen.

I have this exact issue at the moment. I can activate the viritual enviroment once it is created, but in order to set it as the default one for my workpace I have to manualy add it to the "settings.json" file. It takes a cuple of minutes from the moment it is created to when it shows up in the list over interpreters, and the prompt for adding it to the workspace never shows up.
