Test Error message

1. Open a folder in VS Code
2. Add a file named email.py to the root directory of the workspace folder
3. Create an ipynb file in the root directory
4. Run a cell in the ipynb file with any code such as print(1234)
5. Wait for the kernel startup to fail (this can take around 30 seconds)

• Verify an error message is displayed indicating the fact that the presence of the file email.py may have caused the kernel to crash
• Delete the email.py file and verify the kernel now runs.
