Create Environment does not check if .venv already exists #20027

Closed

Description

@brettcannon

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

If .venv already exists, ask the user whether they want to stick with it or delete it to create a new one. You can't have multiple environments in the same directory due to being able to only have a single pyvenv.cfg file.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create an environment in .venv.
  2. Launch the extension.
  3. Run Create Environment to create an environment with a different Python version than what .venv already has.

Diagnostic data

  • Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.10.4
  • Type of virtual environment used (e.g. conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): Venv
  • Value of the python.languageServer setting: Pylance
Output for Python in the Output panel (ViewOutput, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)
