vscode-python: Invalid message: Found duplicate in "env": PATH when using virtual environment in Python 3.11

I just downgraded the Python plugin from version v2023.6.0 to v2023.4.1 -> solved the issue. Something is wrong in the current release.

Please keep in mind this can only be a workaround!

Thanks for reporting the bug, this is happening because both the Path and PATH variables are set with different values.

We are working on fixing the bug as soon as possible.

Thanks

I guess it is pretty established downgrading solves this issue now (and it has fixed the problem for me too), but the question is: is this a bug or a feature? Is there actually something wrong with the environments of the users experiencing this issue, this error message is correctly flagging it and the users should fix the problem on their side, or is it a “false positive”?

I downgraded the plugin, and the issue is gone. Thanks, svenmk

Thanks everyone for confirming, we’ll release a stable version with the fix very soon.

Fix should be out in the pre-release version of the extension, use the following to try it out:

I can confirm that downgrading to 2023.4.1 also fixed the issue for me. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon…

same issue here

My launch config:

{
            "name": "project",
            "type": "python",
            "purpose": [
                "debug-in-terminal",
                // https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/19030
                // "debug-test",
            ],
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "project/project.py",
            "args": [
            ],
            // Comment out to inspect additional output
            "console": "internalConsole",
            "justMyCode": false,
        },

Removing "console": "internalConsole" fixes the symptoms of the issue.

I have the same problem. Thanks a lot.

Does anybody have the vsix file for 2023.4.1? In my installation the “Install Another Version” button is greyed out and I cannot find the vsix neither in the github releases (last vsix was March 2022) nor on the marketplace (version history only goes back ~1 week).

Edit: Found the answer here and the download link is this

Do you have a .env file somewhere specifying additional env vars? Please mention the contents if so.

C:\>dir .env /a /s /b
C:\Users\bers\.vscode\extensions\donjayamanne.python-environment-manager-1.0.4\pythonFiles\.env
C:\Users\bers\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2023.6.0\pythonFiles\.env

C:\>more C:\Users\bers\.vscode\extensions\donjayamanne.python-environment-manager-1.0.4\pythonFiles\.env

@javiermtl Downgrading should be no longer needed, try pre-release mentioned in #20828.

Thanks, @karrtikr, it worked for me 😃
