I totally don't understand where and why vscode uses the environment /Users/username/.local/share/virtualenvs/test-project-GV0hGqPR? It might be related to the bug reported here microsoft/pylance-release#3784.

[brettcannon]

Are you saying that /Users/username/.local/share/virtualenvs/test-project-GV0hGqPR doesn't exist as a directory? Do you use virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, or some other tool to create virtual environments?

[drorata]

That location does not exist. All I have is an empty ~/.local/share.

I had an attempt with pipenv and maybe that was a test env I created using that tool. Otherwise, I now use poetry which is configured to create the envs in ~/.poetry_envs. At the beginning, that test-project might have been created using poetry before I changed the location.
