Run Code vs Run Python File in Terminal for VSCODE

Question

I seem to be stuck with trying to run python3 files in vscode. I have noticed the Triangle button in the top right hand side to run code is no longer coloured green too.

I have set up my own venv for python3 and have installed the numpy package - I've checked pip list and it's there and runs fine when called any methods from this package upon importing it.

When i right click the file in vscode and click on Run Python File in Terminal - it runs perfectly fine and gives me the desired outputs.

However, when I click Run Code or Alt+shift+N it opens up the Output tab next to the terminal and produces no output - just an error message stating that the module numpy does not exist.

I do not understand this, since the numpy pacakge is installed. Can anyone try and help me with this - because it is quite tiring having the right click all the time and click "run python file in the terminal" i was hoping for a keyboard shortcut instead.

I've attached my code below

import numpy as np 
print(np.round(5/30,decimals=3))

Please see the following screen captures.

You can clearly see the output running correctly in when Python3 file is sent to the terminal - but in the OUTPUT tab it's an error!

The above is the correct result from the Terminal

Below is the result of the OUTPUT tab.

Solved it myself - the answer was simply here:

How to execute Python code from within Visual Studio Code

I needed to change the path of the code-runner in the settings.json file as that was activated.

To run your code when it says "ModuleNotFoundError":

Right-click, go down to run python file, and click on "run python file in terminal".

I was stuck on this for hours. Every source just told me I didn't have "module" installed which I clearly did.
