Environment discovery takes 132s (Using WSL and uv)

[williamlunsom]

Environment data

• Python Environments extension version: 1.30.0
• Python extension (ms-python.python) version: 2026.4.0
• VS Code version: 1.122.1
• OS and version: Windows 11
• Python version: 3.13
• Environment manager in use: uv
• Shell: bash
• Remote / container scenario: WSL
• Workspace type (single folder / multi-root / mono-repo): single folder
• Is this a regression? If yes, last known working extension version: Yes, exact version unknown, but was not an issue in march/april

Repro Steps

1. Create repo in WSL
2. Create uv venv
3. Reload VS code

Relevant .vscode settings.json:

{
  "terminal.integrated.env.linux": {
    "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}:${workspaceFolder}/src"
  },
  "terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
    "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder};${workspaceFolder}/src"
  },
  "terminal.integrated.enablePersistentSessions": false,
  "python-envs.workspaceSearchPaths": [
    "${workspaceFolder}/.venv"
  ],
  "python-envs.defaultEnvManager": "ms-python.python:venv",
  "python.languageServer": "Default",
  "python.analysis.autoImportCompletions": true,
  "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
    "${workspaceFolder}/src"
  ],
  "python.envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env",
}

Expected behavior

Discovery happens quickly, since only the uv venv and native python interpreter exists in my system.

Actual behavior

Discovery takes multiple minutes before editor is usable.

Additional context

This happens across multiple repositories, but all are using WSL and uv.

[MaddyGuthridge]

I also experience this, with initialisation taking 126 seconds.

[OmerFI]

This may not be a PET/locator bug at all. If you're on VS Code 1.123 with the built-in Copilot Chat (0.50/0.51), check the "GitHub Copilot Chat" output channel for a line like [CopilotCLIChatSessionContentProvider] listSessions took NNNNNN ms matching your discovery duration.

In my identical case (WSL + uv, discovery "took 160s", Setup appears hung during stage: managerRegistration, PET configure timeout), the Python extension was a victim: Copilot Chat's CLI-sessions integration blocks the entire extension host event loop on its first listSessions (60–430 s in my logs). Tell-tale sign it's not PET: the 30 s watchdog (Request 'refresh' timed out after 30000ms) fires only after 150 s+ — timers themselves are delayed. Running the bundled pet find standalone took 0.5 s.

Details + evidence: microsoft/vscode#319710 (and microsoft/vscode#319698). Workaround that took my discovery from 162 s → 6 s (user settings.json + reload):

"github.copilot.chat.claudeAgent.enabled": false,
"github.copilot.chat.cli.showExternalSessions": false,
"chat.viewSessions.enabled": false

[MaddyGuthridge]

An interesting possibility, although I have all AI features entirely disabled, so I don't think it explains the root cause of the problem for me.

[OmerFI]

Correction: the three-setting workaround I posted earlier is not reliable — the freeze recurred on later cold starts with the settings active (the initial fast result was a warm hit). Refined root cause + why there's no clean completions-preserving workaround in 1.123: microsoft/vscode#319710 (comment)

Can confirm that setting chat.disableAIFeatures: true "fixed" the issue.
