Python + Inject Infisical CLI + vscode + local development + launch.json

[yaronlevi]

Hi,

Currently, there is no way to work locally with Python (the Infisical CLI inject way), in Vscode with the launch.json. So the desired result is that I should be able to click the green PLAY button in Vscode, and the envs will be injected by Infisical CLI.

Iv'e created this issue per the request of @maidul98

Detailed information can be found in this slack thread:

Thanks!

You can create a wrapper python script (e.g. infisical_secrets_injector.py) in your project that takes the debug command generated by the launch.json file, and prepends the infisical run command so that the environment variables are in place before even the debugger itself starts up

infisical_secrets_injector.py

import subprocess, sys
sys.exit(subprocess.run(
    args=["infisical", "run", "--", "python3" ] + sys.argv[1:],
).returncode)

You can then add this script to the pythonArgs section of your launch.json

launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Debug my app",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "the_python_app_you_want_to_debug.py",
            "pythonArgs": ["infisical_secrets_injector.py"],
            "args": ["actual", "args", "for", "your", "app"],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": true,
        }
    ]
}

(Kudos to Merramore's comment on this Stack Overflow post for coming up with this idea)

@daninge98 Thank you for the detailed information! I'll check this later.

Here's my setup if it helps anyone - using FastAPI

• infisical.py

  import subprocess, sys
  sys.exit(subprocess.run(
  args=["infisical", "run", "--", "python3" ] + sys.argv[1:],
  ).returncode)

• launch.json

  {
    "name": "Python: FastAPI + Infisical",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "module": "uvicorn",
    "pythonArgs": ["${workspaceFolder}/.vscode/infisical.py"],
    "args": ["main:app","--reload"],
    "console": "integratedTerminal",
    "justMyCode": true
  }
