VSCode not recognizing conda environment and not running the cells

[Flock1]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.54.3
• Jupyter Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.3.684299474
• Python Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.3.680753044
• OS (Windows | Mac | Linux distro) and version: Ubuntu 20.04
• Python and/or Anaconda version: 3.8.3
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): Conda
• Jupyter server running: Local

Expected behaviour

Should work fine with the conda environment

Actual behaviour

1. VSCode is not recognising the environment
2. Not running the cells. I get an error at the bottom right invalid version - final and it's getting from jupyter extension.

Steps to reproduce:

[NOTE: Self-contained, minimal reproducing code samples are extremely helpful and will expedite addressing your issue]

1. Install the python and jupyter extensions

Logs

This is what I get in the output channel for Python:

[vsheg]

I have that problem, too (VS Code 1.55.0)

[claudiaregio]

Hi @Flock1 and @vsheg, will have someone take a look as soon as possible

[rchiodo]

Looks like python extension is not parsing the python version correctly.

[Flock1]

@rchiodo, thanks for the reply. So how can we avoid that? I tried different versions of python but that doesn't work. So what should I do?

[rchiodo]

Sorry I moved this issue to the python extension. My comment was more directed as to why did I move it so the python extension team knows why it's here.

I don't know why the version isn't being parsed correctly.
