Mayapy.exe is no longer a valid python interpreter

[mlamarre]

Issue Type: Bug

Behaviour

Select "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\bin\mayapy.exe" as your python interpreter.
Try to launch a script, get "The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid."

This is a regression. Everything was working fine until I restarted for the Update today.

Expected vs. Actual

Expected: script being lauched.
Actual: "The Python path in your debug configuration is invalid."

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\bin\mayapy.exe" as your python interpreter.

Hi @mlamarre , can you provide the logs?

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

XXX

[mlamarre]

[ERROR 2022-3-4 19:22:5.268]: readdir() failed for "c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\bin\mayapy.exe" (Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, scandir 'c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2022\bin\mayapy.exe')

Making a copy of mayapy.exe named python.exe in the same folder and using this one as the interpreter in vscode solves the issue.

[karrtikr]

Fix should be out in the pre-release version of the extension, use the following to try it out:

@mlamarre has the issue been resolved for you with the pre-release version?

[mlamarre]

Yes, it's fixed. Thanks!
