Expected behaviour
Being able to use the step-through debugger.
Actual behaviour
Any import of numpy results in an import Error. However, if the script is run from the terminal, this numpy import error does not occur. In other words, the issue is specific to the VS Code Python Debugger.
Exception has occurred: ImportError
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!
Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.
We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:
https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html
Please note and check the following:
* The Python version is: Python3.7 from "C:\Users\potassium\Miniconda3\envs\test_numpy37\python.exe"
* The NumPy version is: "1.18.5"
Steps to reproduce:
[NOTE: Self-contained, minimal reproducing code samples are extremely helpful and will expedite addressing your issue]
import numpy will trigger the error when a Python module is executed with "Start Debugging".
I tried numpy 1.18.5 and 1.19. I reinstalled VS Code and Miniconda. Problem still remains. I didn't have this issue before.
