Conda - the environment has not been activated messages

[paschott]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.34.0 (system setup)
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2019.4.12954
• OS and version: Windows 10.0.17763 64 bit
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.7.3
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): conda
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: all

Expected behaviour

Conda environment activates properly when I start a python terminal

Actual behaviour

Starting a Python terminal or running lines of code w/ shift+enter gives me:
This Python interpreter is in a conda environment, but the environment has not been activated. Libraries may fail to load. To activate this environment please see https://conda.io/activation.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a Python terminal

If I exit() that python environment and run "conda activate myenv", it activates as expected. I can then run "python" and all is well.

Python works, but for some reason my environment is not activating as expected. I'd tried by pointing the Python Path to the base python.exe for anaconda as well, but got the same behavior. I followed a suggestion to point directly to this environment, but that didn't seem to change anything.

Duplicate of #5764

This doesn't seem to be a duplicate of the other issue. This gives me a message saying that the environment wasn't activated.

Apologies,

[DonJayamanne]

Please could you provide screenshots of the commands sent to the terminal along with the errors displayed in the terminal.
Also please note, we don't have great support for older versions of Conda.

Here's a screenshot. Python seems to work overall in the terminal, but the warning is odd. And as noted if I "exit()" then do an "activate environment udemy" (my playground for a Udemy course), it seems to work.
Starting REPL or Python debugging:

Exit(), Activate:

Edit: I could have sworn I had this working without the warning in the prior VSCode release, but am not sure. I'm definitely on the latest Conda - just did an update to all of my bits.

Also verified that "which python" works if I "conda activate base" - the folder changes to my base folder as expected. I get the warning about the environment not being activated.

What version of conda are you using?
