Try setting

-
The issue should also go away if you update your Python extension to latest stable release.
Sure, here is the additional information:

Indeed, this error does not show up anymore if I switch to the release version
v2023.14.0. The actual issue that "nothing" is working properly (e.g. no auto-completion, unable to jump to definitions via ctrl+click, ... - all the stuff one uses an IDE for) is still there (which was the reason I checked out the prerelease in the first place). So I guess the cause for that is a different issue - but without any error logs anywhere, I guess I'll have to search further myself.At least I was able to report some error in the pre-release version then...

- added a commit that references this issue
on Aug 18, 2023 Patrick Mischke (@Patschke) Please try updating your Python extension to latest pre-release version (with
"python.experiments.optOutFrom": ["pythonTerminalEnvVarActivation"]still being there), and see if you still run into the issue.- added a commit that references this issue
on Aug 18, 2023 I Just ran into the exact same problem, and the error did go away just fine with the latest pre-release version.
Thesettings.jsonline for the experiment does not seem to change anything at first glance (except the actual activation of it, of course).
However, I am still experiencing the no auto-completion/reference jumping like Patrick Mischke (@Patschke).Same x64 Linux kernel and VS Code version on my side.
Thibaut Hebert--Henriette (@ThibautHH) Thanks for verifying. Could you open a new issue for auto-completion using
Python: Report Issuecommand? We'll be happy to have a look.Reacted by Thibaut Hebert--Henriette- locked as resolved and limited conversation to collaborators

Type: Bug
I'm running code version 1.81.1 and python 3.11.3 using Arch linux. I've tried the pre-release and release version of the python extension with identical results. The python extension won't load properly, the log shows an error as soon as I open any python workspace:
2023-08-17 10:19:17.604 [error] [ 'Failed to activate a workspace, Class name = g, completed in 256ms, has a falsy return value, Arg 1: , Return Value: undefined', [TypeError: this.context.getEnvironmentVariableCollection is not a function at _.activate (/home/user/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.15.12221007/out/client/extension.js:2:440573) at /home/user/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.15.12221007/out/client/extension.js:2:2386 at Array.map () at g.activateWorkspace (/home/user/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2023.15.12221007/out/client/extension.js:2:2376)] ]A lot of stuff won't work (including the "Python: Report Issue..." command, but also basic stuff like auto completion, Ctrl+Click to jump to definitions, ...). I'm not sure if the cause of this is actually the error above, but I couldn't find anything else that looked suspicious. There were no issues before I recently updated from version 1.79.2 to 1.81.x.
I did not find any other reports that look similiar to this, so I'd guess it's an issue somewhere on my side. However, I was unable to find a solution, so I still ended up filing an issue to receive some support.
