How to auto-activate the environment after the start in version 1.56?

Is there any way how to auto-activate the environment in VS Code 1.56?

Previously, I used the following workspace settings to auto-activate the environment in the terminal:

"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": [
    "/path/to/activate.sh",
],

It activated the environment right after starting up.

These settings were deprecated in the latest version:

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_56#_terminal

I tried to use the new settings:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
    "bash": {
        "path": "bash",
        "args": [
            "/path/to/activate.sh",
        ],
    },
},

Unfortunately, it only works for New Terminals or when I have a different tab open after the start and switch to Terminal after VS Code is fully loaded.

Is there any way how to activate the environment rightaway?

This worked for me in my settings.json:

    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh",
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "bash": {
            "path": "bash"
        },
        "zsh": {
            "path": "zsh",
            "args": ["-l"]
        },
        "fish": {
            "path": "fish"
        },
        "tmux": {
            "path": "tmux",
            "icon": "terminal-tmux"
        },
        "pwsh": {
            "path": "pwsh",
            "icon": "terminal-powershell"
        }
    },

Make sure to add the "args" key to the shell you are using. In my case it is zsh so I added the "-l" argument to load my .zprofile script.

Hopes this helps you out! :)

To "auto" activate a python venv and load .env file on the integrated terminal when you open the project or open another terminal make sure you have the following settings set:

User Setting UI

Python: Env File
${workspaceFolder}/.env
Python>Terminal: Activate Env In Current Terminal
True
Python>Terminal: Activate Environment
True

Make sure you venv is at the root of you project folder, eg:

./MyProject (workspaceFolder)
./MyProject/venv
./MyProject/.env
./MyProject/djangoproject
./MyProject/djangoproject/[djangoapps]
./MyProject/djangoproject/manage.py
./MyProject/setup.py
./MyProject/requirements.txt

If that fails try setting the workspace settings to:

"python.pythonPath": "./venv/bin/python",
"python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,

As a reference here are my current setting:

User settings.json:

{
    "python.sortImports.path": "./venv/bin/python",
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "zsh",
    "python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
        "bash": {
            "path": "bash"
        },
        "zsh": {
            "path": "zsh",
            "args": ["-l"]
        },
        "fish": {
            "path": "fish"
        },
        "tmux": {
            "path": "tmux",
            "icon": "terminal-tmux"
        },
        "pwsh": {
            "path": "pwsh",
            "icon": "terminal-powershell"
        }
    },
    "terminal.integrated.profiles.osx": {
        "bash": {
            "path": "bash"
        },
        "zsh": {
            "path": "zsh",
            "args": ["-l"]
        },
        "fish": {
            "path": "fish"
        },
        "tmux": {
            "path": "tmux",
            "icon": "terminal-tmux"
        },
        "pwsh": {
            "path": "pwsh",
            "icon": "terminal-powershell"
        }
    },
}

Workspace setting.json:

{
    "python.pythonPath": "./venv/bin/python",
    "python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,
}
