Pylance in VS Code

HaydenWelch — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 14:29:50 GMT

Been having issues with the latest Pylance for VS Code not properly following arcpy imports and specifically hanging up the Pylance server on the arcpy imports meaning all syntax highlighting for any python script is lost.

Not sure if this is an ESRI bug (the hangup makes me think it might have something to do with the licensing server?), but as of now the workaround is reverting back to v2023.7.40

Example of what the latest Pylance shows:

apparently there are issues reported on github

Syntax highlighting and code completion stops working in v2023.9.10 onwards · Issue #5021 · microsoft/pylance-release (github.com)

some had success with v2023.10.40

They introduced this bug a while back (see issue 4862), fixed it in a pre-release version, then must not have merged the fix in the latest release.
