I am having problems with using interactive jupyter kernels within vscode when in a conda environment.
I create a new conda environment, activate it and install jupyter. Then try Ctrl+Shift+p and "Jupyter: Create interactive window" in command palette. Initially everything works fine. However, later on in a different session I try to activate the environment and open an interactive window. Now I get
Failed to start the kernel: unhandled error.
Looking in the log the error is
Failed to run command:

[Errno 7] Argument list too long: '/<path to r-miniconda>/r-miniconda/envs/ner/bin/python'
(I replaced some of the explicit paths with stand-ins in < > brackets)
Does anyone know what this means and how I can prevent this from happening? Is it because of too many repeated entries of the miniconda path in the PATH environment variable? If so why has that happened and how do I stop it?
