powershellcore on windows does not display when venv active

[eleanorjboyd]

Testing #21298

in order to get powershellcore working on windows I had to install it, activate it by going to the correct folder in powershell, then opening up vscode with "code ." from that same powershell version. If I didn't open with "code ." then I would not see the option for the specific powershellcore version I picked in my default terminal picker.

I selected powershellcore, created a venv, then clicked a new terminal. No icon was displayed to show I was in the venv but the executable is the venv (which is called ps2)

same occurs for conda too

As per the TPI the terminal prompt may not show, you should either either the notification or a terminal prompt.

ah yes I see the notification- is there a reason the paratheses don't show? Is this based on the shell?

[karrtikr]

Yep. For powershell, there's no way for us to reliably show parenthesis using environment variables.
