"Create environment" error message isn't helpful

[roblourens]

Testing microsoft/vscode-jupyter#11963

I just ran "Create environment" with the global python iterpreter, I can't remember how I set it up but I suppose it doesn't have pip available. Also there should not be 2 error messages

We added modal error for some cases. @luabud Should we switch to error notification only in all cases?

[luabud]

Yeah I think that's a good idea. It's not a blocking error (in a sense that if you end up choosing a different environment you can keep going), so I vote for using error notifications in all cases. @cwebster-99 -- what do you think?

I think switching to only showing error notifications makes sense for this scenario and reduces "clutter" on the screen. Are we able to add more information to the error notification (i.e. add information from the modal notification to the error notification) so it is more actionable for the user without them having to show output?

I believe #21896 fixed this. Errors are now reported only through a notification, where you can either check the output or select a different interpreter:
