Created a virtual environment 'test' in my windows command prompt, but workon test not working in visual studio code? How to fix?

Question

Error: PS C:\Users\ARYAN\projects\project1> workon test workon: The term 'workon' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

• workon test

•  + CategoryInfo: ObjectNotFound: (workon:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId: CommandNotFoundException

Answer 1

workon didn't work for me also. So, I tried another way to activate my virtual environment. Press Ctrl+Shift+P then select Python: Select Interpreter . then choose your environment. If you can't find your environment from the list, you can enter the interpreter paths, for example, "C:\Users\user\venv\Scripts\python.exe"

Finally, reopen VS and voila!
