Debugging leaves terminal in conda's Base environment instead of selected (interpreter's) conda environment

[zljubisic]

Steps to Reproduce:

1. I am debugging my (pytest) test using Testing > select test > Debug Test GUI.
2. Test is executing
3. After test finishes it leaves terminal in Base conda environment instead of selected (interpreter's) environment.

As I end up in base environment, sometimes I execute poetry install which installs current project's dependencies in base environment. Sometimes I run pytest in base environment but it is not installed there and so on.

After interpreter is selected, whatever we do, we should do it inside that selected environment.
Any terminal windows that are opening during any process should use selected environment.
We should never end up in terminal in Base conda's environment.

@zljubisic Can you try with the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.vscode-python-envs extension? You may need to set python.condaPath to conda with it. That is temporary.

That is a experimental extension that will eventually replace environment management and handling, it should do a bit better than this extension.

Currently, I can't afford using experimental extension at work.
Until this problem is solved I have to execute exit in terminal whenever I want to do something in project's environment.
Really annoying.

I believe that we can conclude here that whatever we do within our project should be done in selected environment.

No help with experimental or historical extension. It seems due to VSCode 1.100.0 version.

Everything goes well except the terminal.
