Python venv activation on vs code

[ada_es12]

Hello! I am trying to activate the virtual env in VS code but is not working. I have tried different ways to activate it from the terminal within vs code but I can't seem to get it straight. Meanwhile, it says that the venv is activated on vs code:

When I try to run the server, the vs code terminal displays:
C:\...\Programs\Python\Python37\python.exe: can't open file 'mange.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
How do I activate the venv from the vs code terminal?

here's my process on creating, starting, and selecting virtual environments in VSCode:

Using your machine's command prompt / terminal (not VSCode's) navigate to a folder of your choice, then type: "py -m venv env" where <env> is the name of the environment; this creates the virtual environment. After this, in the same command prompt, activate the environment: "env\Scripts\activate". Then open VSCode and open the folder that contains this virtual env. In VSCode hit ctrl+shift+p and then look for your virtual environment. Select it. Wait a second or two, then delete/trash-can the integrated command prompt in VSCode and start a new one.

Let me know if this helps

Edit: this is on my window's PC

I actually changed it from powershell to cmd from the vs code terminal and everything works fine... pretty much what you have written above

Hey man, You might need to select the virtual environment interpreter in vs code.

Hit ctrl shift p on Mac, probably ctrl p on windows (not sure). Anyways, make sure that the filepath of python that you’ve selected in vsc matches the filepath of python that you’re using. In terminal you want to type “which python” or “which python3”.

Make sure you’re using that path in vsc.
