No definition found for function - VSCode Python

Question

I am using VSCode for Python along with the Microsoft for Python extension enabled in VSCode.

For Python v3.9.0 I am getting No definition found if I try to seek a function definition.

However, I do not get the error if I use my Conda Virtual environment for Python 3.7.0

What might be the problem?

Answer 1

When I used the code you provided and disabled the Python extension, I encountered the same problem as you.

Since "Go to Definition" is supported by the corresponding language service extension, it is recommended that you check that the current Python extension is available and confirm that the selected python interpreter is also available. In addition, please try to reload VSCode.

Answer 2

I had the same problem and changing the python language server from Jedi to Microsoft or Pylance did fix the problem. To do this go to the settings with Cntrl + , and search for python.languageserver
