Virtual environment activation is broken on Gitbash

[ababak]

Type: Bug

Create a Python virtual environment and activate it in GitBash.
I encounter a messed up PATH variable that causes significant issues.

Path additions:

## Extension: ms-python.python

Activated environment for `.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe`

- `EXEPATH=C:\Program Files\Git\bin`
- `HOME=C:\Users\a.babak`
- `MSYS=disable_pcon`
- `MSYSTEM=MINGW64`
- `PATH=c:\Users\a.babak\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2024.0.1\pythonFiles\deactivate\bash;d;C:\tmp\.venv\Scripts;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Users\a.babak\bin;C:\Python39\Scripts;C:\Python39;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH;C:\Program Files\dotnet;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR;C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C:\Users\a.babak\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\Users\a.babak\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin;${env:PATH}`
- `PLINK_PROTOCOL=ssh`
- `PS1=(.venv) ${env:PS1}`
- `PWD=C:/Users/a.babak/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code`
- `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8`
- `PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1`
- `TERM=xterm-256color`
- `VIRTUAL_ENV=d:\tmp\.venv`

Result in the terminal (note the unescaped backslashes):

declare -x PATH=$'c:\\Users\a.babak\\.vscode\Extensions\\ms-python.python-2024.0.1\\pythonFiles\\deactivate\bash;d;C:\tmp\\.venv\\Scripts;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\mingw64\bin;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\usr\bin;C:\\Users\a.babak\bin;C:\\Python39\\Scripts;C:\\Python39;C:\\Windows\\system32;C:\\Windows;C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wbem;C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\\Windows\\System32\\OpenSSH;C:\\Program Files\\dotnet;C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NVIDIA Corporation\\PhysX\\Common;C:\\Program Files\\NVIDIA Corporation\\NVIDIA NvDLISR;C:\\Program Files\\Docker\\Docker\resources\bin;C:\\Program Files\\Git/c/Users/a.babak/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/bin:/c/Users/a.babak/bin:/c/Python39/Scripts:/c/Python39:/c/Windows/system32:/c/Windows:/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH:/c/Program Files/dotnet:/c/Program Files (x86)/NVIDIA Corporation/PhysX/Common:/c/Program Files/NVIDIA Corporation/NVIDIA NvDLISR:/c/Program Files/Docker/Docker/resources/bin:/cmd:/c/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/bin:/c/Users/a.babak/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/c/Users/a.babak/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl'

Also I see one more problem in the path additions section:

d;C:\tmp\.venv\Scripts

instead of

d:\tmp\.venv\Scripts

[ababak]

Another problem is the PWD section that shows an irrelevant directory path

Git bash isn't officially supported by the Python extension, please try using a different shell like Command prompt or Powershell. You can use Select default profile command to switch.

It used to work until last week :(

Unfortunately, other shells suffer from similar issues. The VSCODE_ENV_PREPEND variable already contains incorrect data.
This is cmd:

VSCODE_ENV_PREPEND=PATH=c\x3a\Users\a.babak\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2024.0.1\pythonFiles\deactivate\bash;d;C\x3a\tmp\.venv\Scripts;C\x3a\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C\x3a\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C\x3a\Users\a.babak\bin;C\x3a\Python39\Scripts;C\x3a\Python39;C\x3a\Windows\system32;C\x3a\Windows;C\x3a\Windows\System32\Wbem;C\x3a\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C\x3a\Windows\System32\OpenSSH;C\x3a\Program Files\dotnet;C\x3a\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C\x3a\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR;C\x3a\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin;C\x3a\Program Files\Git\cmd;C\x3a\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C\x3a\Users\a.babak\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C\x3a\Users\a.babak\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin;:PS1=(.venv)

Path is not modified

[karrtikr]

I see, can you open a new report for other shells using Python: Report Issue and I can take a look asap?
Please provide the debug logs which can 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)

Also, try switching to the pre-release version:

Switching to the pre-release version was the first thing I tested. Or do you need the logs from the pre-release?
