python virtual environment not work correctly

[SethWen]

Type: Bug

When create python virtual environment at one project root directory using conda, the terminal can not activate the env automatically, and the test extension can not work correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. cd you_project
2. conda create -p venv pytest now we create a conda virtual environment at ./venv

After that the terminal cannot automatically activate as before, and the test extension can not work.

It looks like somewhere can not correctly use the venv because I create it using conda create -p ....

The following is some logs after clicking refreshing tests button.

Same problem here on Windows 11, as mentioned in issue 234035

Yes. It is very buggy. When writing python using vscode, it even make many other extensions not work.
For example:

• git keep tracing somthing
  
• FittenCode(Extension ID: FittenTech.Fitten-Code) can not response.
  But when writing typescript using vscode, the above works correctly.
