I have been using VSCode with the Microsoft Python extension for a couple of months now. However just today I found that the green button I had in the top right that executed my code is gone. I have tried uninstalling the python extension and reinstalling, I have deleted and redownloaded VSCode, I have tried installing code runner. None of these have fixed the issue.
This is the image of my VSCode, which may help to solve the issue:
When I tried to select the Python: select interpreter I got an error in the bottom right that says,
"Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error (command 'python.setInterpreter' not found)"
I have never experienced an issue like this before so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Image of the plugin I have installed.
Try the following. If that does not help create a new bug.
Do the following to remove stale versions of the extension:
1.Uninstall Python extension (if you have pylance uninstall it first) in visual studio code.
2.Close all instances of VS Code or close visual studio code.
3.Go to, %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows) or ~/.vscode/extensions on Windows/Linux/Mac.
4.Go to Run and give %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows). It will open extensions folder.
5.Delete any folder with the name starting with ms-python.python*
6.Start VS Code, and install Python extension again(also pylance if you uninstalled it in step 1).
So I had faced the problem and couldn't find solution until I stared at VS code and found at the bottom left corner that it was in restricted mode, you have to run it in trust mode and it will fix the problem.
If the option is not coming, there is an option to run the program on the left panel in vs code which looks something like this:
Then you need to click debug and run or whatever the option is, if that is blurred out then you've not saved the file, first save it and then again do the same options, and then it will run.
I figured it out!!! The most recent update for the Microsoft Python plugin on VSCode seems to be bugged or something, I'm not sure. However I installed an older version and everything works now, including bringing back the green run button. Thank you all so much for the help!
Yep it's an issue with the most recent releases of vscode. The quick fix right now is just to roll back to an older version. You can easily do this by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+X in vscode to get to the extensions menu, and then clicking the Python extension, and then clicking the little arrow to the right of "uninstall". Here, you can just click "Install Another Version".
For me v2020.10.332292344 did the trick.

Many others are facing the issue right now too.

I am using WSL2, and i encountered this error today. My VScode used to work fine until my version was automatically upgraded to 1.60. When i checked my extensions, it said that my Python extension is not installed in WSL2, so i clicked on install and the problem was solved.
It may also come from the restricted mode. Please make sure you're in a trusted window.
"Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error (command 'python.setInterpreter' not found)"
The error happened on the newer version 3.10.6 I installed on my new system.
I uninstalled the new python version. Then went to Microsoft store and installed the older version 3.9 directly from the store. When I tried adding the interpreter again on vscode, it was successful.
reloading or upgrading python extension worked for me.
Kindly install the Python interpreter from the following site:
https://www.python.org/downloads/
Then vs code will ask for permission to run the interpreter.
and then its done

Recently I reinstall my VS Code due to some errors. But I am not able to compile python files. I have installed all necessary extensions like python and code runner. But still I am getting this:
Same problem occurred to me! All I did was just disabled and then re enabled the python extension again.
OR
Please uninstall the extension, restart VS Code, and then install it again. This error is symptomatic of an extension install going badly.
I tried everything to fix this problem
1.Unistall VS Code.
2.Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}" and delete the .vscode Folder.
3.Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}/AppData/Roaming" and delete the "Code" Folder. This file stores all the VS Code Cache.
4.Restart you laptop and install VS Code again.
5.Install the python extension.
Yes they solve my other errors related to VS Code but this particular error was in my folder from which I was running my python program because when I execute some other python program saved in some other directory it worked successfully.
So I would suggest that you may try running your .py file by placing it in some new folder.
I've just had exactly the same issue. My intellisense wouldn't work too. Tried everything.. at the end I've downgraded Jupyter version. Went back to version from 6 days ago and everything is working. Python, Pylance, Intellisense extensions are the newest.
one of the solutions is you should downgrade python extension to lower extension.
please click extensions icon then choose manage button below python extension.and click install another version.
then choose older version.then select interpreter(ctrl+shift+p).
at the end restart vscode and run python file.

You may need to roll back the VS Code Python extension temporarily.

Same problem. My solution is downgrade both Jupyter and Python to 2021.3.6xxx from current 2021.5

I was too lazy to follow the recommendations for reinstalling the program on the computer, so I went into the VSC extensions, uninstalled Python, restarted VSC, installed Python, restarted VSC and everything works now. If you are as lazy as I am, then you can try this method before taking drastic measures.
Even I had the same problem but I fixed it. To fix this you have to delete VS Code completely and then reinstall it. Follow the steps:
Unistall VS Code.
Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}" and delete the .vscode Folder.
Go to "C:/Users/{Whatever User}/AppData/Roaming" and delete the "Code" Folder. This file stores all the VS Code Cache.
Restart you laptop and install VS Code again.
Install the python extension.
This worked for me. Hope it helps you too.
Note: If you don't find the AppData folder in you users folder, you have to enable hidden items by going to the view section in the windows explorer taskbar.
Just uninstall python extension and then restart VS Code and then install python extension again and then you will not get this error anymore.
Just update or reinstall Pylance and Python extensions and restart VS Code.
Go to the python extension, hit the arrow next to uninstall and downgrade
I Tried uninstall Reinstall VS Code Windows 10 64 bit Not Worked.
Just Uninstall all extensions in VS code.
1.open any .py file
2.Then VS CODE will show automatically to install python extension.
3.Install It Now you can see the interpreter without any issue.
NOTE:(Tried uninstalling reinstalling Extensions one by one not solved the issue)
Same here. No I've tried to relaunch VS Code, but still no python, no terminal at all (neither "Code", "Problems", or other tabs), not even was able to load the extensions menu to reinstall python. But Relaunching the PC solved the issue :)
Just uninstall VS Code, go to C:\Users\whatever user\ and delete .vscode.
Restart pc and install latest version of VS Code.
Unable to run/debug run in my python file. I KNOW I downloaded python on my computer. I know I downloaded the extension in VS code. Every time I try to run even a simple print("abc") line of code I get nothing in the terminal and a message that reads
"Extension activation failed, run the 'Developer: Toggle Developer Tools' command for more information."
in addition to
"Python extension loading..."
and the extension never seems to finish loading its been hours.
How do I fix this I am working out of Windows
For example I have "Extension" named Python in the image below that gets updated or installed by vsCode automatically
You have to wait for the "Extensions" to be installed.
Make sure you have an internet connection.
make sure you have a fast internet connection so that it can be installed faster.
After installation restart "vsCode"
If it doesn't work for you, try uninstalling the extension and reinstalling it
This is all I know and it happened to me
Don't know the reason, for me I installed a pervious version for python EXTENSIONS, and issue fixed screenshot
Navigate to the extensions and you'll find the extensions whose reload is required. Press reload and wait for the extension to refresh. Check the error message at the bottom to see if it still persists.
For me this problem occurred when updating VS code to version 1.75.0 and python extension version was 2022.20.2, problem fixed when updating python extension to version 2023.2.0
System: MacOSX 10.15,
VSCode Version: 1.67.2,
Python Kernel Version: 3.8.13 (Conda base).
I created a new Jupyter notebook in my VSCode using command shortcut and selected the right python kernel showed above. The empty notebook page is well loaded and no error message occurred.
But when I typed and ran any code in the cell, this error message showed up below the cell.
Then I clicked the "log" link and the error log showed up and it was like this:
And hence I couldn't run any code in the notebook cell. Then I changed to another Python Kernel (3.9.12) of the same notebook, it showed the same error message:
Please give me a solution to overcome this bug.
Update: I tried to reinstall pyzmq to an older version in the canda base environment and it didn't change anything. Then I typed command jupyter --version and everything is well installed.
Update: I have searched on Github Issues of VSCode. There are two similar issues that are all caused by some extensions, one is called "Gitduck"(now renamed "duckly"), the other is "nur.Script". The link to these issues are here:
Cannot read property 'makeSettings' of undefined #834
Cannot read property 'makeSettings' of undefined #128458
But unfortunately, I never have installed any of these extensions in my VSCode. So it may be caused by a similar extension but I still don't know the name.
Finally, I use the command code --list-extensions to list all my installed extensions here, maybe helpful for filtering which extension is the bad guy:
Final Update: Today (05/31) I opened VSCode and tentatively created an empty Jupyter notebook, and this problem has gone away. I have done nothing, maybe VSCode's auto-update has solved this problem. Case closed.
You can try reinstalling the pyzmq module.
pip uninstall pyzmq
pip install pyzmq==19.0.2
Hope this helps you.
whenever I try to import matplotlib or matplotlib.pyplot in VS Code I get the error in the title:
Import "matplotlib" could not be resolved from source Pylance(reportMissingModuleSource)
or
Import "matplotlib.pyplot" could not be resolved from source Pylance(reportMissingModuleSource)
The hyperlink of the reportMissingModuleSource sends me to https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/blob/main/DIAGNOSTIC_SEVERITY_RULES.md#diagnostic-severity-rules, where it says:
"Diagnostics for imports that have no corresponding source file. This happens when a type stub is found, but the module source file was not found, indicating that the code may fail at runtime when using this execution environment. Type checking will be done using the type stub."
However, from the explanation I don't understand exactly what's wrong and what I should do to fix this, can someone help me with this?
I can reproduce your question when I select a python interpreter where doesn't exist matplotlib:
So, the solution is opening an integrated Terminal then run pip install matplotlib. After it's installed successfully, please reload window, then the warning should go away.
Just changes the interpreter to 2.7.x in left-bottom corner enter image description here
I experienced a similar issue even after installing vs_BuildTools.
Matplotlib could not be resolved from source parlance
What to do:
open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
Type: Python: Select interpreter Here is the interpreter that worked for me!
Navigate to your project.
Select the latest interpreter or check what interpreter
I had the same issue. Sometimes it's back to multiple versions of python on your device. You just need to change the path. Make sure the correct Python interpreter is selected in your IDE.
In vscode Press CTRL + Shift + P or (⌘ + Shift + P on macOS) to open the command palette. Then type Python select interpreter in the search field and choose the right version.
I have the same issue - I did two things and its working now
Check if there is some earlier versions of python installed on your machine - if yes then remove and reinstall the latest one
Second install the Microsoft C++ Build Tools
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
Restart the app and run again.
I was getting the same problem and realised the package install path for my active virtual env wasn't listed in sys.path
after appending this location to sys.path my .ipynb was able to import matplotlib
