Configure VSCode to autocomplete from two Python projects

Question

I have read and tried a lot but am still struggeling with correctly configuring IntelliSense, ie, VSCode's autocomplete for my Python projects.

It works fine within a single Python project. But I have a workspace with two of my projects open at the same time since one of them is imported and used inside the other. For simplicity, let's call them myProjectA and myProjectB. Inside myProjectA, I get correct autocomplete (incl. suggestions and auto import) for myProjectA but not for myProjectB, which is used inside A.

How can I configure VSCode to show auto suggestions of myProjectB in myProjectA?

I have tried adding

"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
        "myProjectB"
    ]

to my config, but it doesn't change anything. Do I need to provide the full path to myProjectB? Or do I need to configure something else?

Answer 1

it wasn't working for me until i added the path to "python.analysis.extraPaths" as well:

"python.analysis.extraPaths": [
    "path\\to\\directory"
],
"python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
    "path\\to\\directory"
]
