vscode-python: Increasingly duplicated conda / mamba / miniforge environments

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

When selecting an interpreter, I expect conda environments (miniforge, in my case) to show only once. Instead, they are repeating two, three and now even five times.

Also, sometimes the python version will be displayed wrong (3.1.X).

mamba env list works well in terminal (both within and outside VSCode), so I supsect this is a Python app issue.

Steps to reproduce:

Install mamba (miniforge, in my case) in a linux environment (fedora)
Create some environments, either within or outside VSCode
Close/reopen VSCode several times

The number of environments will start being repeated.

Diagnostic data

Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.11.7
Type of virtual environment used (e.g. conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): Conda
Value of the python.languageServer setting: Default

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

Ran the instructions, and now the environments seem to be behaving!

Thank you for all the help @karrtikr !

@irm-codebase Gotcha, I figured it was mamba related based on “mamba env list” you mentioned.

If you find that a “conda” environment (listed via conda env list) is being replicated, I’m happy to reopen and have a look again.
