Failed to start virtual environment on git bash

[chkp-assafme]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

When opening a git bash terminal on windows the python virtual environment does not start.

Steps to reproduce:

Have a python project with a virtual environment in the same directory called .venv.
Open a new virtual environment.
I expected the virtual environment to be activated, however, which python shows it is not.

I have validated that in my settings I have: "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true

The output of the python output panel was added below.
Note: I have manually ran the . ./.venv/Scripts/activate && echo 'e8b39361-0157-4923-80e1-22d70d46dee6' && python ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2024.0.1/pythonFiles/printEnvVariables.py command and validated it returns a proper dictionary.
however, I see it continues with C:/Program Files/Python39/python.exe.
In addition, it sends this to the terminal, however, the terminal is git bash which should have a different format (/c/Program Files/Python39/python for the original python).
I also see that when I run source .venv/Scripts/activate and do "which python" I am seeing:
/c/Users/assafme/projects/azure_infra/\Users\assafme\projects\azure_infra.venv/Scripts/python

which doesn't seem right.

Diagnostic data

• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.9.10
• Type of virtual environment used (e.g. conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): Venv
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: Default

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)
