command 'python.execSelectionInTerminal' not found

[rishabhgit]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.29.1 (user setup)
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): Python 2018.11.0
• OS and version: Windows 7 Enterprise
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Anaconda python 3.6.5
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): "base": conda
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: N/A

Expected behaviour

Hitting Shift + Enter or clicking "Run cell" should execute code within a cell

Actual behaviour

"Run cell" does not appear above "#%%" comments. "Shift + Enter" produces the error command 'python.execSelectionInTerminal' not found. I've tried uninstalling the Microsoft Python Extension, uninstalling VS Code completely, removed the .vscode folder in c:\Users\xxx and also changed keybindings as per this issue #3397 , but cannot get the feature to work.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install VS Code
2. Install Microsoft Python
3. Select Anaconda as the Python Interpreter
4. Run a cell in a python code file.

Please try uninstalling and re-installing the extension and possibly VS Code. That output suggests you have a corrupted install (are you behind a proxy?).

[raveendrannoble]

Facing the same issue as above. Looks like the latest update is causing the issue.

[rishabhgit]

Hi @brettcannon ,
I've VS Code installed onto a VM provisioned by my company, so I assume it would be behind a proxy. Unfortunately, those setting are disabled by the sys admin, so I can't see them.
As I mentioned in bug report, I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Python extension and VS code earlier. I tried that again after your suggestion, but I'm still getting the same error.

From the error log, could you confirm if the issue is with the Microsoft Python extension and not with VS Code itself and if so, is there a workaround that'll work behind a proxy?

[rchiodo]

Removing the data science tag as this seems to be a general extension issue and not related to data science per say.

[brettcannon]

@rishabhgit you can go to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python to download the .vsix file and then you can install the .vsix.

[rishabhgit]

Thanks @brettcannon , installing the .visx file helped. I still got the same error after installing the .visx extension, but after deleting the .vscode folder in the project folder, I was able to launch Jupyter server and execute code cells. Do you want me to close the issue?

[brettcannon]

@rishabhgit thanks for the update! I've gone ahead and closed the issue.
