Vscodium with python extension: unable to scan virtualenv in ~/envs

[manlaya]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently facing a little problem with codium, which cannot see the python virtual environments located in ~/envs if those as symlink.
I'm actually not sure it is an issue, so I post this as a question first.

Working with python, I generally use venv/virtualenv in projects, but to avoid manual selection of interpreter in VSCode in any new directory, I create a symlink to my environments in ~/envs.

With VSCode, they automatically appear in Python: select interpreter command.
With VSCodium, this only work if the directory in ~/envs is not a symlink. Otherwise, the environment does not appear in list.

Any idea why ?

OS : Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, Linux 6.5.0-45-generic
VSCodium : 1.91.1 (installed from apt)
Python extension: v2024.12.2 (but tried with the previous ones too).

Test to uninstall/reinstall codium, try with fresh settings: same issue.

My config file:
