Demo conda resolver does not recognize minimanba installation on MacOS

[Somiona]

As described in the title, I am using minimanba on MacOS and I have made an alias from mamba to conda in my .zprofile.

This is the Python Environment Output I got.

I know the conda resolver is just a demo as mentioned in the #79, however I wish this issue can provide an remedy to the people encountered the same issue.

For people come after me, one temporary solution is just uninstall this plugin, then your VSCode should detect the mamba environment correctly.

@Somiona Instead of an alias can you create a symlink named conda, and ensure that it is on PATH. See of that helps?

another option to try is setting python.condaPath, and see if that helps.
