Description
Type: Bug
I use uv to create my venvs.
I have requires-python = "==3.12.*" in my pyproject.toml.
I can create and activate the environment.
python --version says "Python 3.12.9".
which python says /mypath/.venv/bin/python.
I run vscode using code ., and it activates the .venv, but the version shown is 3.11.9.
I can switch to another python, then select my venv again (which shows 3.12.9 in the list), and again, it says 3.11.9.
I've verified that python.defaultInterpreterPath is set to /mypath/.venv.
If I run python --version in the terminal in vscode, it prints the correct version, 3.12.9.
I can run the following cells in a notebook:
!which python
# /mypath/.venv/bin/python
print(sys.version)
# 3.12.9 (main, Feb 4 2025, 14:38:38) [GCC 11.4.0]
So it appears to be using the correct venv and python version, yet the interface still shows the old version.
With a .py file open, the same behavior is seen when selecting the python version from the footerbar. The version show is Python 3.11.9 ('.venv'), yet if I print(sys.version) from a .py file, the correct 3.12.9 version is printed. Selecting the python intepreter by clicking on the footerbar lists my venv with the correct version 3.12.9, but after selecting it, the footerbar still displays 3.11.9.
