Does the issue repro when you disable the python environment extension?
superdreamliner commentedon Sep 12, 2025
Don Jayamanne (@DonJayamanne) I think so.
I have already tried disabling and reinstalling the Jupyter and Python extensions earlier but didn't work. When I select the Conda environment I need in another .py script, that environment reappears in Jupyter. This resolves the issue temporarily for now.

I'm sorry for not getting back
Does the issues repro when you reinstall the python Env extension?

I ran into the same problem with 2025.8.0 jupyter extension. Reinstalling the python Env extension doesn't help but disabling it helps.

Hi! Sorry to hear you are seeing this issue with the Python Environments Extension. Where are the conda environments which can't be found located?
FeiyueYang01 commentedon Oct 9, 2025
My environments are under miniconda3/envs. My miniconda installation isn’t under my home directory. It’s installed in a custom system-wide location.
eleanorjboyd commentedon Oct 10, 2025
can you use
"python-env.globalSearchPaths": []and set that to where your miniconda environments are and let me know if that works?FeiyueYang01 commentedon Oct 10, 2025
It works now even without setting python-env.globalSearchPaths. I noticed that there's a latest update for python Env extension 3 hours ago and I guess this bug has been solved. Thanks!
