Cannot deactivate virtualenv in terminal

[gpratte-outbox]

Type: Bug

Since very recently vscode is activating the current virtualenv in my terminal, but using some new technique where the 'deactivate' command does not exists. I need to have a terminal free of the virtual env but I cannot unload it.

I've turned off both A/B tests and the virtual env terminal feature and not I no longer have the virtualenv. When A/B test was on though the virtual env terminal feature configuration was ignored...

Hello @gpratte-outbox, you might've run into https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/wiki/Activate-Environments-in-Terminal-Using-Environment-Variables. Known issue section provides a workaround for this limitation when A/B experiment and virtual env feature is on, let us know if you're still having trouble and we'll be happy to have a deeper look.
