Setting a Path does not Work.

[04Samir]

Diagnostic Data

• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g., Anaconda): 3.12.5
• Type of virtual environment used (e.g., conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): .venv
• Operating system (and version): Windows 11
• Version of tool extension you are using: v2024.0.0

Behaviour

Expected Behavior

If I installed autopep8 via pip, either in my .venv or globally in PATH, it should use that autopep8 version.

Actual Behavior

It uses the version that comes with the extension, v2.1.0.

Reproduction Steps:

Add the following in your workspace's .vscode/settings.json:

"autopep8.path": ["autopep8"]

Outcome When Attempting Debugging Steps:

Did running it from the command line work? Yes, running autopep8 <path-to-file> in my .venv's terminal uses the version installed by pip.

@04Samir From the logs it looks like the "importStrategy": "useBundled", (default) set it to "fromEnvironment" for the extension to use the one from your environment.

If you want to set path you can do it like this: "autopep8.path": ["${workspaceFolder}/.venv/scripts/autopep8.exe"] or "autopep8.path": ["${interpreter}", "-m", "autopep8"]
