vscode-jupyter: Error when launching Interactive Window for the first time

Bug: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Editor cells

Steps to cause the bug to occur

  1. Install the Python Extension

  2. Click on the “Use the Interactive Window to develop Python Scripts”

  3. On the right side bar click to install ipykernel

Actual behavior

When I click to install ipykernel I have the following error :

C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python38/python.exe c:\Users\myuser\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.8.101144\pythonFiles\pyvsc-run-isolated.py c:\Users\myuser\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.8.101144\pythonFiles\shell_exec.py C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python38/python.exe c:\Users\myuser\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.8.101144\pythonFiles\pyvsc-run-isolated.py pip install -U ipykernel --user C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Temp/tmp-3788OaytmZIQkb4q.log

Expected behavior

ipykernel must be installed without any errors. As you can see, there are an error with the forwarded slash in the path url…

@IanMatthewHuff I confirm that by selecting PowerShell 7 as the default Shell the interactive Window is now working. I have been able to install ipykernel successfully.

Sorry for the inconvinience about this issue and my git-bash. Is it planned to support Git-bash ?

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks, I’ve done that after figuring out I could get it working by calling code through the powershell prompt. microsoft/vscode-python#13590
