It should only be "python": "$pythonPath $fullFileName", no {}.
Use this code:

import sys
 
print(sys.executable)

Then use the button to run code.
So the point here is that is always use the active Python interpreter(down in left corner).
I started with Python 3.7,Anaconda,then Python 2.7.

The outcome of trials with json file at my end has been as follows:

TEST-01:

"python": "$pythonPath $fullFileName"

Mouse hover over above entry in json file elicits the following message:

Quote:Unknown Configuration Setting

Closing the json file & loading a python file, attracts two messages as follows:

Quote:Sorry something went wrong. Activating Intellicode supprt for python

And

Quote:Extension activation failed. Run the 'Developer:oggle Developer Tools'

Simultaneously, at bottom left corner of task bar, there is indefinite turning of circular arrow saying "Python extension loading - -"

However, code execute successfully on pressing Ctrl+Alt+N

TEST-02:

"code-runner.executorMap": "python": "$pythonPath $fullFileName"

OR

"code-runner.executorMap": "python: '$pythonPath $fullFileName'"

OR

"code-runner.executorMap": "python: $pythonPath $fullFileName"

In json file, mouse hover tip:

Quote:Incorrect type. Expected "object"

Code does not execute. Message on trying to Run python file:

Quote:Code language not supported or defined

TEST-03:

"python.pythonPath": "$pythonPath $fullFileName"

With the above entry in json file, the code executes without any problem.

At present, there is only one version of python on my Windows-10 desktop. As suggested by you, following code was run:

import sys  
print(sys.executable)

The output is as follows:

Output:
[Running] python -u "j:\AdtPython-Practice\00-RoughTesting.py"
C:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe

[Done] exited with code=0 in 0.124 seconds

Then all is okay.
If you use other version or virtual environment it will switch automatically,
that's the point of not hard code the Path to current version.

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return "Hello, World!"

form VS Code terminal I'm trying to give this command:
export FLASK_APP = minimal.py
but I get:

Error:
export : The term 'export' 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.

+ export FLASK_APP = minimal.py
+ ~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (export:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

What am I doing wrong? Maybe this is for mac and should use windows command?

I tried with set FLASK_APP=minimal.py but:

Error:
Set-Variable : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'minimal.py'.

I'm on this page now:
https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1...l/factory/

When I use Notepad++ and console have no problem in activating the environment and web page http://127.0.0.1:5000/hello. But...when I try the same in VisualStudio Code I get this message:

Error:
Error: Could not locate a Flask application. You did not provide the "FLASK_APP" environment variable, and a "wsgi.py" or "app.py" module was not found in the current directory.

any idea what's behind this? How do you enter env in VS Code?
