Conda crashed after debug

[mhshen]

After debugging a python/C++ project, I created a new zsh window in vscode, and conda environment fails to activate with the following error message.

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>

+1 also running into this issue starting last week

After mode debugging, this is due to an interaction between my packagemanager and vscode-cli in particular. Only triggered when opening vscode from terminal. Most likely due to the fact that a virtualenv is already engaged and the integrated terminal is inherited.
