Lack of user feedback when no (suitable) interpreters installed #3468

Open sharon-wang opened 3 months ago

sharon-wang commented 3 months ago

Positron Version: 2024.06.0-40

Positron Version: 2024.06.0 (system setup) build 2024.06.0-40 Code - OSS Version: 1.89.0 Commit: 59891fe84a2198e83d5a3ddacabdd087d66178a4 Date: 2024-06-10T03:23:17.109Z Electron: 28.2.8 Chromium: 120.0.6099.291 Node.js: 18.18.2 V8: 12.0.267.19-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.20348

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Do not have any python or R installations
  2. Open Positron
  3. See that no interpreters are shown and no guidance to install a interpreter in Console or Interpreter Picker

What did you expect to happen?

There is some user feedback in the R extension output if R installations are detected but do not fulfill the minimum version, but we should surface this feedback in the interpreter dropdown and quick pick too.

Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?

I've included output for informational purposes, but this is mainly a UI/UX enhancement rather than something going wrong in detecting interpreters. There are some odd errors from the R extension though..

Output - Python

We can check whether there are any runtimes after the discovery phase of startup is complete, and maybe a first step here would be just to show a modal popup with info.
