How can I activate my virtual environment in visual code terminal? I've tried using the workspace settings method but the settings file was empty

CodePudding user response：

If you have already created your virtual environment, you can just go to its directory by running the following in the VS Code terminal:

cd /python_env/bin/

and then

source ./activate

or, you can directly run

source ./python_env/bin/activate

from your main project directory.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Open your project folder in VS Code

2. Create a new terminal

3. Use the following command in the terminal to create a new virtual environment

   # .venv is your virtual environment name
   # You can also use py -3 -m venv .venv
   python -m venv .venv
   

4. After the virtual environment is generated, use the following command to activate the virtual environment

   # .venv is your virtual environment name
   .venv\scripts\activate
   

Normally, when VS Code notices that you have created a new virtual environment, a popup will prompt you to allow it to be selected for the workspace.
