Run Python File no longer escapes slashes in bash terminal #971
Description
Type: Bug
VS Code version 1.104 or above
Git Bash for Windows
A Conda install (we use miniforge)
- Set the default terminal to Bash
- Open a Python file
- Choose the
baseConda environment as your Python interpreter - Click the "Run Python File" button
Issue
Path to conda environment contains backslashes and so bash mangles path.
Expected result
Path to conda environment has backslashes replaced with forward slashes (previous behaviour in VS Code version 1.103).
