Part of #3935

[Q] is this change intentional?

[julieg18]

Nope! I think it happened when I was fixing a merge conflict.

[I] If we are using this we also need to use onDidChangeActiveEnvironmentPath so that updates are taken into account... unless an update will be triggered in a different way.

[Q] Can we replace our other use of the API with this now?

Updates are triggered with onDidChangePythonExecutionDetails since that runs when the environment path changes.

Apologies, I'm not sure what you mean. What other use of the API could be replaced? Looking at the API, they all seem to be doing different things to me 🤔

[julieg18]

Going to merge this, but happy to update the use of the API in a followup!

[mattseddon]

We use getExecutionDetails to get the Python executable for the active environment. Isn't that returned by getActiveEnvironmentPath?

export type EnvironmentPath = {
    /**
     * The ID of the environment.
     */
    readonly id: string;
    /**
     * Path to environment folder or path to python executable that uniquely identifies an environment. Environments
     * lacking a python executable are identified by environment folder paths, whereas other envs can be identified
     * using python executable path.
     */
    readonly path: string;
};

☝🏻 maybe we can't rely on this as it could return a folder and not an executable. Nevermind.
