Loading a .env file into a terminal never happens.

[mhcwainwri]

I have had a settings.json with these three lines for the better part of the last year:

  "python.envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/deploy/.env",
  "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true,    
  "python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,

This has always worked but now is not loading as a result of this new update to the python environment manager. This kills my tasks.json which rely on the .env file I load into each terminal.

Was working yesterday and now doesn't work after the update to this extension last night.

Hi! Sorry about this- I am working on a fix now. See discussion on: microsoft/vscode-python#25294 (comment)

Hi! You should be able to use the setting "python.terminal.useEnvFile" to ensure the .env file loads. The default value of this setting is false- so you need to enable using the env file at this point. Please follow up if there is a bug and this setting doesn't work
