It seems to be broken since 2024.16.0. I can reproduce the issue on my Windows machine.

It seems I can't put my finger on it but it looks like the conda locator is incorrectly being triggered.

Edit: version 2024.16.0 not 2023.x.x

[karthiknadig]

The current pixi handling broke conda (in cases without pixi). I am working on re-writing that part to address it in a way where the pixi bits are only used when pixi is installed.

[eleanorjboyd]

Hello! This bug is now fixed and is out on the pre-release of the vscode-python extension. Are either of you who say this issue about to try it on the pre-release to verify it is fixed? Thanks!

[ChristianRothQC]

Thanks @eleanorjboyd for checking in with us again! The issue seems fixed in the latest pre-release version. Thanks so much!

[TylerLeonhardt]

Thanks for confirming @ChristianRothQC!
