How to get interpreter path for 3rd party extension?

[chialiyun]

I read this article that explains that if an interpreter is being set, we could get via extension API or command ${command:python.interpreterPath}.

I am currently coding a vscode extension and using the following code:

let success = await vscode.commands.executeCommand('python.interpreterPath');

It results in TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'workspaceFolder' in undefined at d._getSelectedInterpreterPath (/.../extensions/ms-python.python-2022.16.1/out/client/extension.js:2:356990) . May I ask how to execute the command?

I figured that the command has to be used with an option (either of the following):

• object with workplaceFolder field (`{workplaceFolder: "/usr/joe/learnPython"})
• an array of string []{"path/to/folder1", "path/to/folder2"}

for example:

vscode.commands.executeCommand(
			'python.interpreterPath', {
			workspaceFolder: "path/to/workspace"
		})
