Tensorflow 2 works on Jupyter Notebook but not on VsCode

Question

This code with tensorflow 2.2.0 works on Jupyter Notebook but gives error on VsCode.
I doubt "python.pythonPath" in settings.json which is autogenerated in VsCode.
Not sure how to config VsCode.

import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)

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: Python3.8 from "C:\Users\<User>\Anaconda3\envs\tf2\python.exe"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.18.5"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: DLL load failed while importing _multiarray_umath: The specified module could not be found.

Answer 1

Try launching VS Code from your activated conda environment and then make sure its selected by the Python extension (look in the status bar). That should fix the discrepancy in sys.path .
