Test runner does not use selected interpreter

[Daniel63656]

I have tests that rely on packages such as sortedcontainers. I run code with a miniconda env called 'musicml'. I have musicml selected as interpreter and it shows up in status bar. In Terminal with activated env I can collect and run tests just fine (pytest test returns all tests running successfully), but the test panel shows discovery errors due to
E ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sortedcontainers'

How is this possible if interpreter is set? In terminal, where python also gives 2 paths. Can this be related to this faulty behavior? I use Windows 10

(musicml) C:\Users\Daniel\AppDevelopment\scoreworks\MusicModelPython>where python
C:\Users\Daniel\miniconda3\envs\musicml\python.exe
C:\Users\Daniel\miniconda3\python.exe

I don't have any hardcoded interpreter in settings.json. In fact, removing .vscode changes nothing.

This may be related to #7215 which was closed because the author did not continue writing.

@Daniel63656 This might be a bug. Ensure that your python extension is the latest that is 2024.16.1. Can you file a bug using the issue reporter for python? Please include the Logs form Output > Python, and Output>Python locator.

I found an answer.
This can be solved by going to settings (ctrl + ,) switching python.locator from 'native' to 'js' and restart VSCode
