Add a diagnostic to validate `COMSPEC` env variable #18791

jose-jordan · 2022-03-27T18:26:03Z

Perhaps it'll be sufficient to make sure it carries:

A path that exists.
It's a file and not a folder.

Note according to https://postgrespro.com/list/thread-id/1529515 it may also end with a semicolon, so some investigate research may also be required to double check the possibilities.

@jose-jordan please use the bug reporting feature in VS Code to report bugs. Also, please include the logs from Output > Python . We don't have any information here to figure out what is going on I you don't provide the information we need.

karthiknadig · 2022-03-30T05:15:20Z

@jose-jordan Can you share the full path of where you have python installed? Also, can you run these commands from your command prompt and share the results:

> set COMSPEC
> set PATH

karrtikr · 2022-03-30T07:42:35Z

Can you run the following in command prompt and send the output?

python -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"

jose-jordan · 2022-03-30T18:07:17Z

karrtikr · 2022-03-31T16:21:03Z

Can you also run set COMSPEC as asked earlier?

jose-jordan · 2022-03-31T16:33:25Z

karrtikr · 2022-03-31T16:48:00Z

COMSPEC is set to an incorrect value, search for "Edit environment variables" in the start menu, then click here:

Look for Comspec in System variables:

And change it to contain C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe instead.

Let me know if it helps!

karthiknadig · 2022-03-31T16:54:08Z

@jose-jordan Typicaly ComSpec is supposed to be set to this value:

@karrtikr Might be a good idea to add a diagnostic to validate that the ComSpec is pointing to a valid cmd.exe or some file that exists.

Seems like it worked for you. The other issue you face is not related to the Python extension, I recommend you to delete the setting workbench.editorAssociations and re-set it using the settings UI. Run Open User settings command.
