Testing MRU kernel picker- asks me to install python

[andreamah]

Testing #172094

I have python on my computer, but the kernel selector isn't detecting it and tries to get me to get it from the windows store (I think I originally got it from the python website?)

[andreamah]

Follow-up- I re-installed the extensions and it still told me to Install Python in the pick, but I refreshed and it showed my interpreter? Not too sure why.

@andreamah
Please could you try to repro this and share the following logs
Please could you enable logging as follows:

• Open settings & go into Jupyter->Logging
• Change the value to verbose
• Reload VS Code,
• Attempt to repro the issue & then copy the output from the Jupyter output panel.

[DonJayamanne]

Its possible the Python environments were still being refreshed (Python env takes a while to discover the Python environments)

[DonJayamanne]

Possible solution: Jupyter ext might want to display the Install Python option only after Python has completed its refresh

You might also be able to repro by creating a new settings profile and then installing the extensions from the Select Kernel menu. That's how I was able to repro.

Note that, when I was in that state, pressing the refresh button showed me the correct stuff and set the correct interpreter. Logs when I refreshed:

rofile and then installing the extensions from the Select Kernel menu. That's how I was able to repro.

Oh so you install the Python extension from Select Kernel menu, isn't that right. If i'm not mistaken, you then end up with the stable version of Pytohn extension.

Please could you install the latest pre-release version of both Pytohn and Jupyter extensions and then replicate this issue.
If you can, then please feel free to re-open this issue.

Closing as i suspect you had the stable version of Python installed.

[andreamah]

Hmm, I tried to repro again with installing python + jupyter from the same way, but I'm getting the prerelease (not sure what I was getting before) and it's working just fine, which is strange. I'll reopen this if I see it again.
