- Pixi environments are detected by:
- Searching for Python interpreters in
.pixi/envs
subdirectories within workspace folders - Checking for a
conda-meta/pixi
file in potential Pixi environment directories (.pixi/envs/{env_name}
) - Determining the version of the Python interpreter from the
conda-meta/python-{version}.json
file
- Searching for Python interpreters in
This process ensures fast detection without spawning processes. Note that the Pixi locator should run before Conda since Conda could incorrectly identify Pixi environments as Conda environments.
