setting pythonpath in launch.json fails

[weinand]

• VSCode Version: 1.18.1
• OS Version: windows 7

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create an empty .env file in the ${workspaceRoot} (which is confusing with multiple folders)
2. Set the pythonpath in launch.json:
   "envFile": "${workspaceRoot}/.env",
   "env": {
   "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceRoot}/_common/packages"
   },
3. This only works when the "envFile" setting is completely removed or when the .env file is deleted.

Reproduces without extensions: No (depends on python extension)

• Please do not use ${workspaceRoot}, you need to use ${workspaceFolder} more info

This only works when the "envFile" setting is completely removed or when the .env file is deleted.

Please could you describe the behavior you are currently experiencing, and the expected behavior.

Please note, we have identified a couple of issues around this area that we'll be fixing in the next release (#466).
