Sometimes when I use conda activate (my venv) inside the vs Code terminal it fails, with the following error:

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.
If you suspect this error is being caused by a malfunctioning plugin,
consider using the --no-plugins option to turn off plugins.
Example: conda --no-plugins install <package>
Alternatively, you can set the CONDA_NO_PLUGINS environment variable on
the command line to run the command without plugins enabled.
Example: CONDA_NO_PLUGINS=true conda install <package>
Whereas if I open the therminal app it works just fine. I noticed that Vs code tries to remember the active env for each directory and sometimes the shell promp looks like two envs were active at the same time. I guess there is a set of commands that vs code executes when I open the terminal from Vs code, where can I see them?
Any idea on how to fix this?
Previously terminal.integrated.inheritEnv was true by default. In 2019 they had the plan to set it to false by default.
It is mentioned that this might become standard in a few VSCode versions. See https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_36#_launch-terminals-with-clean-environments.
It could be that they now changed it to be false by default, causing said problem [Needs verification].
When false the terminal does not use a VSCode environment but instead 'fetches and use the environment of the parent process of VS Code's "main process"
Changing terminal.integrated.inheritEnv to true again fixed the problem permanently for me.
