Pixi should not be assumed present (extension should not raise errors if not found)

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Loading "Testing" for a Python test, the following errors are found in Python Output:

2024-08-28 07:19:56.178 [error] Reading directory to watch failed [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/home/user/company/projects/my_project/.pixi/envs'

}
2024-08-28 07:19:56.178 [error] Dir "/home/user/company/projects/my_project/.pixi/envs" is not watchable (directory does not exist)

Either provide Pixi and Pixi extension with MS-Python extension, downgrade these to warning, info, or debug, or provide non-exception throwing checks before engaging Pixi command or folders

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start with an environment without Pixi installed
2. Remove any Pixi extensions from VS Code
3. Remove .pixi/envs from project
4. Launch Debug/Testing extensions.
5. Review Output panel
6. Look for errors.

@matthewapeters Hello, thank you for filing this issue. This issue should've been resolved in the latest pre-release: #23942

Can you try the latest pre-release version of Python extension and see if you see the same message? Please make sure to clear output console before you update too.
