"No pip installer available" when configuring test

[l-vincent-l]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Everything was working fine until today, tests were discovered and I could run them.

But today I'm asked to configure tests, when I do that I have an error message "There is no pip installer available in the selected environment".

I’m expecting to discover tests.

When I go in the terminal panel I can run python -c "import pip" without error.

Steps to reproduce:

Click on testing, click on Configure Python Tests, select pytest, select my directory.

Diagnostic data

I'm seeing the exact same thing when I upgraded to v2023.22. I downgraded to v2023.20 and tests were discoverable again.

Hi! Can you try again but specify the full path to selected python when running python -c "import pip". It might not be looking at the right place if you are seeing this issue. Thanks

[smoy]

this is likely the same as #22618
