Activating Conda environment fails

[d3r3kk]

Python: Create Terminal command activates the (root) conda enviornment in VSCode instead of the configured environment.

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.26.0-insiders
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.7.1
• OS and version: Ubuntu 18.04
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Anaconda3-4.4.0 (installed via pyenv)
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): conda
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: n/a

Workspace Settings

{
    "python.pythonPath": "/opt/python/pyenv/versions/anaconda3-4.4.0/envs/issue1882/bin/python"
}

Actual behavior

The (root) environment is activated for a folder instead of the configured/specified one.

Expected behavior

The specified/configured environment is activated.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Anaconda3-4.4.0 using pyenv
   > pyenv install anaconda3-4.4.0
2. Create a folder in your home directory, say /home/user/conda_issue.
3. Open a bash shell and navigate to your new directory.
4. Create the conda environment for this folder, use the same name as the folder:
   > conda create -n conda_issue python=3.6.1
   (note Python version is same as what is associated with anaconda3-4.4.0)
5. Create a simple python script in the folder.
   > echo "print('hello world')" > hello_world.py
6. Run vscode-insiders from the command line, or open it using the desktop shortcut.
7. In VSCode, open the 'hello_world.py' python file to activate the extension.
8. Select the interpreter for the workspace, set it to the Python 3.6.1 :: Anaconda 4.4.0 (64-bit) (anaconda3-4.4.0) one.
9. Reload the window, and note that the workspace settings contains the python.pythonPath for the anaconda python executable within the chosen environment.
10. Run command Python: Create Terminal.

I'm unable to replicate this at my end, must be cuz I have conda installed.

[DonJayamanne]

I think #1882 might have the solution. I.e. using conda activate.

[DonJayamanne]

Time to use the linux environment.

[DonJayamanne]

This issue might have a dependency on #2266 (see #2266 (comment))

[DonJayamanne]

Lets leave this open, this issue is similar to #1882, but we need to ensure this is also resolved (i.e. ensure we install Anaconda via pipenv)

Closing in favour of #1882
