My colleague is unable to debug in VS Code using a Python Azure Function our organization uses. When cloning the repository for the function, she is prompted to create a virtual environment, but no Python version is found under this prompt:
Select a Python interpreter to create a virtual environment
She has tried both manually entering her Python interpreter full path and creating a virtual environment manually in the integrated terminal, but the function will not start when debugging. However, the function does start using func start in the terminal. We have followed all the steps here and ensured all the required packages are installed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/create-first-function-vs-code-python
When I try to reproduce the issue, I'm also prompted to create a virtual environment, but my interpreter shows up and the environment is successfully created. I am using Python 3.7.9 and my colleague is using 3.8.3. We're both using Anaconda versions of Python.
We have also attempted to manually run:
python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
in the terminal, but we are seeing this error when we attempt to debug:
> Executing task: .venv\Scripts\python -m pip install -r requirements.txt <
activate does not accept more than one argument:
['C:\\Users\\ddx\\anaconda3', '/d', '/c', '.venv\\Scripts\\python', '-m', 'pip', 'install', '-r', 'requirements.txt']
activate does not accept more than one argument:which seems to be coming from the tasks.json file.
