[FIXED] python.dataScience is "Unknown Configuration Setting" in VS Code

Issue

I am running VS Code (Version 1.52) with extensions Jupyter Notebook (2020.12) and Python (2020.12) on MacOS Catalina.

Context:

I have problems getting Intellisense to work properly in my Jupyter Notebooks in VS Code. Some have had some success with adding these config parameters to the global settings of VS Code:

"python.dataScience.runStartupCommands": [
    "%config IPCompleter.greedy=True",
    "%config IPCompleter.use_jedi = False"
]

I went ahead and added those as well but then had to realize that all settings under python.dataScience are Unknown Configuration Setting. Any idea why this is and how I could this get to work?

Solution

Since Nov 2020 the Jupyter extension is seperated from Python extension for VS Code. The setting key has been renamed from python.dataScience to jupyter^update

So in your case please rename python.dataScience.runStartupCommands to jupyter.runStartupCommands
