Same problem on windows + Anaconda. Debug works when using the top-right 'debug' button, fails in debug panel using launch.json file

Hi @lutuantai95 and @ZeningLin, thank you for reaching out.

I can reproduce the issue with 2021.12.1436712109-dev, although you can ignore the warning for now, it is still possible to debug your Python file despite the warning.

Do you get any warnings about shell resolution when you start VS Code?

---

The issue seems to come from this line

vscode-python/package.json

Line 1490 in 5f46b3d

"when": "!virtualWorkspace && shellExecutionSupported"

If I remove the && shellExecutionSupported part (introduced in #17812) the warning doesn't appear.

No shell resolution warnings found in my case. Debug works after python plug-in reinstallation although the warning is still there.
