set python.terminal.executeInFileDir not working, python file run earlier than cd command #835
Description
Behaviour
I expect set python.terminal.executeInFileDir=true will let run python file command run under the file dir, but the terminal is first execute the python file, then change to file dir.
the button is not working on the first run.
PS, report bug is also not working.
report bug jump to a instruction page, instruct to create bug from vscode.
but from vscode, click preview button jump to issue template select dialog.
loop forever.
Steps to reproduce:
- close all running terminal
- create a folder, and add a py file
- print(os.getcwd())
- click run python file button
- the terminal print the workspace dir, and after execute the py file, the terminal change to the file location.

Eleanor Boyd (@eleanorjboyd) Does environment extension handle sending commands differently than python extension?

Hi, the problem seems fixed in vscode 1.107.0.
