[vs-code-engineering]

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.95.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

@chrmarti Any idea where this error is coming from, It doesn't look like python specific.

Error: Request initialize failed with message: You may install and use any number of copies of the software only with Microsoft Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code, Azure DevOps, Team Foundation Server, and successor Microsoft products and services (collectively, the “Visual Studio Products and Services”) to develop and test your applications.

@rchiodo @debonte Do you by chance know where the above error is coming from? @cwebster-99 ran into it too, I can't seem to find the source.

[rchiodo]

Pylance sends that when it detects it's not running in the Microsoft version of VS code.

Somehow reproduced this, vanilla VS Code (commit/version below).

Version: 1.97.2 (system setup)
Commit: e54c774e0add60467559eb0d1e229c6452cf8447
Date: 2025-02-12T23:20:35.343Z
Electron: 32.2.7
ElectronBuildId: 10982180
Chromium: 128.0.6613.186
Node.js: 20.18.1
V8: 12.8.374.38-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100

I did have an issue where I had to reinstall the Python extension due to the extension path somehow getting mangled (C:\users\username.vscode instead of C:\users\username\.vscode). After reinstalling Pylance, I had this issue crop up. Restarting fixed it.
