'Invalid patch string:'

[jslomkowski]

Issue Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

In the latest version as of 06.02.2022 which is V2022.0.1786462952 when I right-click on workspace and select 'sort imports', I get a popup in the lower right saying 'Invalid patch string:' and imports don't sort. This doesn't happen when I downgrade to the previous version. I use autopep8 but this behaviour happens regardless of formatter. I have also disabled all other extensions.

I was wondering why no one raised this issue earlier and whether it is just me. Good to know that I'm not alone! Anyway, for now the solution is just to add the following to your .vscode/settings.json for every workspace:

{
	"python.sortImports.path": <wherever your `which isort` points to>
}

Hope it gets fixed soon though

[karthiknadig]

@jslomkowski this is due to conda/conda#10972. With the latest release we switched to using conda run, which is why you see this with the current release and not the previous one.

You can always use the isort path to work around this problem.

[jahan01]

conda run implementation has broken so many things this release. even things that do work with conda run like black formatting, it is pathetic and slow on mac. I had enable sort import and formatting on save. So i had now hard coded the paths of black and isort in workspace settings, thankfully now latency is in acceptable limits.
