I readed the issue #6986 but problem not gone ..

#3035 #15799 Git bash is not supported by the Python extension, hence please switch your default shell using Terminal: Select default profile to cmd or powershell on windows and report us back if the problem reoccurs.

Yes if I do again powershell or cmd, then the settings do not return to default, i.e. when I open a new terminal (powershell or cmd) launch.json environment variables not being passed to Python scripts

Also I completely reinstalled vscode but it doesn't helped ( I removed folders with settings.json and with installed extensions)

[karrtikr]

the bug occurs when you change the standard terminal powershell -> git bash

You mentioned in the original bug report that it works for Powershell but issue starts happening when shell is changed to git bash. Is it now not working even for Powershell?

Yes, I installed VSCode on a new computer and worked with PowerShell for a couple of hours. Environment variables from launch.json worked. Then I changed the terminal to Git Bash and the environment variables disappeared. I tried returning to the PowerShell (or CMD) terminal and reinstalling VSCode, but it didn't help. VSCode still doesn't see environment variables from launch.json.

Cool, reopening and reassigning to investigate further in that case.

Very strange I reinstalled vscode one more time and all fixed 👽
