The following list shows the supported environment variables you can use for the path of Qt tools in configurations.

• ${workspaceFolder} - the path of the folder opened in VS Code
• ${workspaceFolderBasename} - the name of the folder opened in VS Code without any slashes (/)
• ${file} - the current opened file
• ${fileWorkspaceFolder} - the current opened file's workspace folder
• ${relativeFile} - the current opened file relative to workspaceFolder
• ${relativeFileDirname} - the current opened file's dirname relative to workspaceFolder
• ${fileBasename} - the current opened file's basename
• ${fileBasenameNoExtension} - the current opened file's basename with no file extension
• ${fileDirname} - the current opened file's dirname
• ${fileExtname} - the current opened file's extension
• ${cwd} - the task runner's current working directory on startup
• ${lineNumber} - the current selected line number in the active file
• ${selectedText} - the current selected text in the active file
• ${execPath} - the path to the running VS Code executable
• ${defaultBuildTask} - the name of the default build task (currently not supported)
• ${pathSeparator} - the character used by the operating system to separate components in file paths

The example of predefined variables can be found here.

You can also reference environment variables through the ${env:Name} syntax (for example, ${env:USER}).

Be sure to match the environment variable name's casing, for example, ${env:Path} on Windows.

• Python
• Python Visual Studio Code Extension with python.pythonPath configuration (defaults to python)
• Qt for Python packages including PySide6, PyQt6, PySide2 and PyQt5.
