Cannot add venv in nested directory in Mac

[cgebbe]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Given I have opened e.g. ~/git,
when running Python: select interpreter
and selecting ~/git/app1/venv/bin/python
then I expect that this path is added.

Instead, it is not added.
I think that instead the following path is added, but not 100% sure whether it was already there before:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9`

IMPORTANT:
When opening instead ~/git/app1,
I can easily add ~/git/app1/venv/bin/python
and see it correctly.

This seems very similar to microsoft/vscode#151188

Hi @cgebbe , thanks for reaching out.

I'm not clear on what you mean by whether a path is added, can you demonstrate your issue using screenshots? Also, please send the output of the following command in terminal:

python -c"import sys;print(sys.executable)"

Debug logs would also help diagnose the issue:

• Run Developer: Set log level command
• Select Trace
• Run Developer: Reload Window command
• Provide the output:

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)
