Broken - Cannot find any environments installed - Cannot create any environments

[aaronkerwin]

This is just broken. I have tried all versions up to the latest pre-release version 1.17.0. None of them work. This extension searches forever, literally does not stop, for environments, but never finds any. When I try to create one, it never actually creates any. Does nothing. What a waste of time!

@aaronkerwin the latest is 1.20.0 (stable) and 1.21.* for insiders. We fixed this specific issue with the extension in those.

Please update VS Code to version 1.109.0 or greater and you should see the latest of the extensions.

Use Install from VSIX with the following platform-specific package links:

Platform	VSIX download link
win32-x64	Install from VSIX
win32-arm64	Install from VSIX
linux-x64	Install from VSIX
linux-arm64	Install from VSIX
linux-armhf	Install from VSIX
darwin-x64	Install from VSIX
darwin-arm64	Install from VSIX
alpine-x64	Install from VSIX
alpine-arm64	Install from VSIX
web	Install from VSIX

This seems like a bug on VS Code extension refresh.

Here is the error I get when installing that specific .vsix for arm64.
ms-python.vscode-python-envs-1.20.0@win32-arm64.vsix

Error: Unable to install extension 'ms-python.vscode-python-envs' as it is not compatible with VS Code '1.109.5'.

Okay, here is my setup.

Thanks for sharing the error. This needs an API from VS Code that is available in VS Code version 1.110.0 , this is currently insiders.

@anthonykim1 Can you tell me which PR on core I need for this so I can deploy this to stable.

An alternate option is to install insiders VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/
