Command 'Python: Restart Language Server' resulted in an error (command 'python.analysis.restartLanguageServer' not found)

See original GitHub issue

Hello, there! I just saw the news in the release notes of 2020.8.101144: ‘Add “Restart Language Server” command.’ and was excited! This way I just got the notion about a completely new background Language Server, as a dedicated replacement for Jedi? 👍

I see that note about the new language server and the possible relation but this seems like a feature above the language server itself! So yes: If I set python.languageServer to Pylance there are other issues but I can restart with this command 👍

Now if it’s vscode-python that starts Jedi as a language server. That command should be able to restart it?

@JP01 Try this and see if it helps. Some times it is just a bad install. Looks like you might have a bad update. Do the following to remove stale versions of the extension:

Uninstall Python extension (if you have pylance uninstall it first).
Close all instances of VS Code.
Go to, %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows) or ~/.vscode/extensions on Linux/Mac.
Delete any folder with the name starting with ms-python.python*
Start VS Code, and install Python extension (also pylance if you uninstalled it in step 1).

Ah, after I re-created my virtualenv (I’m using pyenv+pyenv-virtualenv), restarted VS Code, then re-selected the interpreter using Python: Select Interpreter, the issue is resolved for me.
