Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

  • VS Code Version: 1.56.2
  • OS Version: Windows 10 Professional 21H1 19043.985

Steps to Reproduce:

when active Python extension. will show this message:

The environment variable 'Path' seems to have some paths containing the '"' character. 
The existence of such a character is known to have caused the Python extension to not load. 
If the extension fails to load please modify your paths to remove this '"' character.

I checked my environment variable configuration and found no " characters .
Below is the result:

"d:\rmlis6\common" is not in my environment PATH. I'm very sure.
I don’t know where it was read from.

    What command did you use to display this list of paths? Where did you run it from?

    I used .NET Interactive Notebooks extensions. And run csharp code:

    Action<string> log = message => Console.WriteLine(message);
var path = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH");
var pathArray = path.Split(";", StringSplitOptions.None);
foreach( var p in pathArray ){
  log(p);
}

    What do you get if you try to get environment variables from your terminal directly, for example using the Get-ChildItem -Path Env: command in PowerShell?

    What is the output when you open the Python REPL in your terminal and try to get environment variables in Python?

    import os

os.environ

    I did not find the problem using powershell, but I did see the problem using python. But it is not configured in my environment variables.

    Moving your question to GitHub discussions since it's Python-related, and not an extension issue.
