Pytest and pylint discovery fails for Azure Dev Ops project name with spaces (%20)

[chrislill]

1. Create Azure Dev Ops project containing spaces
2. Clone git repository
3. Configure python environment with pytest and pylint
4. Create a python file and unit test
5. Open project in VS Code

Actual results:

1. Pylint fatal error: "No module named c:\Users\clill\Source\Repos\Debswana0Predictive0Analytics0Platform\DBSAISolution\DBSAIModels\code\dbsai_downtime_coarse_dms\train_model.py"
2. Test discovery error: "ERROR: Directory 'c:\Users\clill\Source\Repos\Debswana0Predictive0Analytics0Platform\DBSAISolution\DBSAIModels' not found. Check your '--rootdir' option."

Expected results:

1. Pylint runs successfully
2. Unit test is discovered by pytest

Note:
The root directory contains '0' where it should contain '%20'

Looks like the rootdir contains '0' instead of '%20'

Git repository is https://[email protected]/DebswanaAzureProject/Debswana%20Predictive%20Analytics%20Platform/_git/Debswana%20Predictive%20Analytics%20Platform

where it should contain '%20'. Two screenshots attached.

Linting in the latest vscode-python extension is not working for me either so I've to downgrade it.

[chrislill]

I'm also having issues with debugging, presumably from the same issue with rootdir.
Agree with sys-temd. There's an easy workaround to install the previous version of the python extension.

Hi @chrislill 👋 Thank you for reaching out.

Issue #9490 should address that since it removes conda run usage, for now. In the meantime, as both of you pointed out, downgrading the extension to the previous release (2019.11) is a workaround.

Hi @chrislill and @sys-temd ,

The conda run fix is now merged in master, so if you're interested in trying it out before the Monday release you are welcome to download our Insiders build (Settings -> "python.insidersChannel": "daily").

Thank you for your patience!

Closing since the conda run work has been reverted in the latest release (2020.1.58038).

Note: seems to be a Windows-only problem, since the following commands worked on macOS + zsh:

• ~/opt/anaconda3/bin/conda run -n myenv python -m pytest --rootdir "/Users/kimiguel/Documents/Sandbox/conda spaces"
• ~/opt/anaconda3/bin/conda run -n myenv python -m pylint "~/Documents/Sandbox/conda spaces/hello.py"
