Environment not activated before running linting?

Language server

Pylance

Expected behaviour

Conda environment activated before pylint is run

Actual behaviour

python.exe from the virtual environment is used, but the environment is not activated.

This causes pylint to throw "no-module-in-name" errors for the package lxml.

Steps to reproduce

Ctrl + Shift + P to run Linting.
Check output under Output/Python.

The need for activation can be tested using the same command in cmd.exe and checking behaviour when the environment is (or isn't) activated beforehand.

This should be addressed with support for conda run. Closing in favour of #17973
