PET doesn't find the base Conda environment #236
Description
Hi!
Is it expected that PET is not discovering the base conda environment, but does discover other Conda environments?
I noticed this because when I disable the envs extension and use "python.locator": "js", then I can use Python: Select Interpreter and see the base Conda env. When I either enable the native locator or the envs extension, I can't see it.
I'm using a PET executable built off release/2025.12. Output:
