Are you able to see other Python interpreter, environments when you trigger select interpreter from the command palette?

only the global interpreters. if I open vscode in the ~/environments dir (which is the path in [python.venvPath]) 'Select Interpreter' does detect the venv's.

How about when you open your vscode workspace and then set your venvpath in a relative way to your workspace, instead of absolute path?

my venv environments are in ~/environments and my workspaces are all in ~/projects.

Is there reason why you set it up that way? @brgsstm
Usually in most cases, users set up a virtual environment under their workspace.

If you really like the set up you have you can try to specify your desired virtual environment in the setting: python.venvPaths and see if that finds your desired workspace.

Yes, I set it up that way as everything under ~/projects I want backed up. ~/environments I don't require backup on as the venv are rebuilt often. I could add exclusions but it's just simpler to exclude ~/environments.

Anyhow, I just updated to the September v1.94.0 and now all of my environments are back 👍🏻

Closing, v1.94.0 has resolved this
