`.resolveEnvironment` returns incorrect information for the same envionment Id

[DonJayamanne]

I have a conda enviornment .conda created using the Python extension UI.
Upon calling resolveEnviornment I get the value for sysPrefix, however after we call this a couple of times, sometimes the value for sysPrefix is an empty string.

• Load VS Code
• Call resolveEnvironment a few times for the same env id and we get sysPrefix
• Call this again a few times, and sometimes we'll get the return value with sysPrefix:''

This is definitely incorrect and causes issues in Jupyter extension when attempting to install things and run kernels.
I.e. getting resolveEnvionment should return the full details, but for some reason its an empty string.

Here are the some of the logs

@karrtikr if you look at the logs, the conda environment isn't detected as a conda env , even though that env is created by Python extension.

There could be other issues here

@karrtikr this isn't a feature request, sorry I accidentally labled that incorectly.
FYI - I'm hoping we can get this addressed before the release

Note, the requirement here is if i were to call resolveEnvironment 10 times it should return the same information.
This is curicial for Jupyter extesnion, else today we run into an infinite loop as we keep detecting changes in the environments.

Considering this issue exists, I'm going to try and improve this code at our end to ensure we don't run into this inifinite loop.

Given this has the same logs as the issue #20071, the cause is likely the same: #20071 (comment). Let us know if it re-occurs after making the fix there.

@DonJayamanne I'm unable to reproduce this issue on my sample extension:

setTimeout(async () => {
    let resolved = await proposedApi.environments.resolveEnvironment(
        proposedApi.environments.getActiveEnvironmentPath(),
    );
    console.log(resolved?.executable.sysPrefix);
    let sysPrefix = resolved?.executable.sysPrefix;
    console.log('Intial', resolved?.executable.sysPrefix);
    await sleep(1000);
    while (true) {
        await sleep(1000);
        resolved = await proposedApi.environments.resolveEnvironment(
            proposedApi.environments.getActiveEnvironmentPath(),
        );
        if (resolved?.executable.sysPrefix !== sysPrefix) {
            console.log('Different', resolved?.executable.sysPrefix);
            sysPrefix = resolved?.executable.sysPrefix;
        }
    }
});

Calling it every one second but sys.prefix is always the same. proposedApi.environments.getActiveEnvironmentPath() corresponds to the path to .conda environment python.

I also checked the value of sysPrefix when resolvedEnvironment returns, and it's never empty string unless we're talking about environments without python.
