Type: Bug

Context

• Managed Dependencies: on
• Cloud SDK Version: 439.0.0
• Skaffold Version: v2.6.0
• minikube Version: 1.30.1

Create a debuggable python container (3.10) and launch with skaffold debug command.

Using the following launch configuration, attempt to attach and debug the pod:

        {
            "name": "Core - Attach",
            "type": "cloudcode.kubernetes",
            "request": "attach",
            "language": "Python",
            "debugPort": 5678,
            "podSelector": {
                "app": "core"
            },
            "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}/app",
            "remoteRoot": "/app",
        },

I receive the following error in vscode when attempting to launch the task:

My suspicion here is that Cloud Code is attempt to launch the debugger using "python" as the command, but as I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 (in WSL2), "python" does not exist. (It would be "python3", or preferably, my activated virtual environment). I'm using a virtual environment for this project, which is activated in vscode, and I suspect that the extension is not able to detect that.

There's no obvious attribute I can see in the configuration to set the interpreter so I'm not sure how to resolve this issue.

Another potentially relevant bit of information is that I'm using a multi-root workspace, and the virtual environment is not at the root of the workspace.

Edit: to rule this out I ran skaffold debug in an external terminal window, opened just the project and question and tried to debug, but I still get the same error.

I also tried temporarily adding this to my settings.json file:

"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "${workspaceFolder}/.venv/bin/python",

No change in behavior.

Hello @mdryden !

Thanks for the additional information here. I'll bounce this over to the team so we can take a look.
