Description

Bug description

Quarto is installed using micromamba to /opt/conda/envs/dev/bin/quarto.
It works on the command line.

I also installed the VSCode quarto extension and set "quarto.path" in .vscode/settings.json.
I tried both:

  • /opt/conda/envs/dev/bin/quarto
  • /opt/conda/envs/dev/bin

When I then run "Quarto: Verify installation" I get

Steps to reproduce

Try to use a conda environment with the Quarto VSCode extension and set quarto.path in .vscode/settings.json. Then run "Quarto: Verify Installation" and see the error.

Actual behavior

Quarto not found

Expected behavior

Quarto should be found

Your environment
  • debian trixie (devcontainer on MacOS)
  • VSCode: Version: 1.106.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a Debian Trixie devcontainer with Quarto at /opt/conda/envs/dev/bin/quarto and the quarto.path setting, then run “Quarto: Verify installation.” Trace how the VSCode extension handles quarto.path; done means the configured executable is found and verification succeeds.
