[Bug] `pythonPath` configuration option not recognized after `basedpyright` update

[pidgeon777]

After a basedpyright update, I have this error when LSP is started:

unknown config option: pythonPath

My pyrightconfig.json is:

{
  "venvPath": "C:/Users/<USERNAME>/scoop/persist/miniconda3/envs",
  "venv": "common",
  "pythonPath": "C:/Users/<USERNAME>/scoop/apps/miniconda3/current/python.exe",

  "include": [
        "./*" // Includes all files in the root directory and subdirectories
      ],
  "exclude": [
        "**/node_modules", // Commonly excluded in many projects
        "**/__pycache__", // Exclude Python cache directories
        "**/.venv", // Exclude virtual environments
        "**/venv", // Exclude virtual environments
        ".git", // Exclude git directory
        "*/site-packages/" // Exclude site-packages directories if not desired
      ],
}

This configuration was working before the update.

i don't think pythonPath was ever a valid option in pyrightconfig.json. it's not present in the configuration docs, only in the language server settings.

the reason you're only now seeing this error is because i made a change recently that reports invalid config as a notification in the language server instead of just silently logging it: #561

i'm pretty sure that means the setting wasn't doing anything and you can probably just remove it from your pyrightconfig.json. it should just automatically detect your python interpreter
