These are the logs I get in the output tab, python selection box. Do not look very helpful though... Anything else I can provide?

This does not look right, it is still using the old locators. @karrtikr is the change that you made in main or just release?

@jzazo Can you please send your User settings? I'm particular interested in telemetry and experiment related settings. The following workaround should fix the issue for you #14977 (comment)

[jzazo]

This is my user settings.json used by vscode-insiders:

{
    "gitlens.advanced.messages": {
        "suppressGitMissingWarning": true
    },
    "remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
        "javier-01": "linux"
    },
    "files.watcherExclude": {
        "**/.pytest_cache/**": true
    },
    "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
    "python.testing.pytestEnabled": true,
    "remote.SSH.enableAzureIntegration": true,
    "redhat.telemetry.enabled": false,
    "python.experiments.enabled": false,
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "bash",
    "python.formatting.blackArgs": [
        "--line-length",
        "99"
    ],
    "python.formatting.provider": "black",
    "python.insidersChannel": "daily",
    "pylance.insidersChannel": "daily"
}

[karrtikr]

It seems you have disabled experiments, removing "python.experiments.enabled": false, from User settings should fix the issue for you. Closing this.

We plan to fix it permanently for all users in the next release.

[jzazo]

Thanks, I updated to the new version of vscode-insiders and it seems to be fixed even with the setting set to true.

However, I have noticed that pytest discovery tests fail to import packages from various workspaces and result in "Pytest Discovery Error".

[karrtikr]

Please open a new issue for that so it's handled separately, thanks!
