Create Issue

Automatically detect a Django file, and show it.

  3. A window will open with a list of options, choose Python Debugger > Django.

Verification

  1. Valid django file
    1. Verifies that your manage.py file was found correctly and is displayed in the list.
    2. When you hover the item, verify that there is a button to open the file and that it works correctly.
    3. Select this option and verify that a launch.json configuration is created with the choose option.
  2. Invalid django file (you can delete or change the name of the file)
    1. Since no file was found, verify that a Default option is displayed.
    2. Select this option and verify that a launch.json configuration is created with the choose option.
  3. Browse a file
    1. Click on the option Browse Files... and select the file that you want.
    2. Verify that a launch.json configuration is created with the choose option, and that the path has been parsed correctly.
  4. Add own value
    1. You can also include your own text, type a path in the input box and press enter.
    2. Verify that a launch.json configuration is created with the choose option.

Notes

Django's application detection works by looking for the manage.py/app.py file in the root or in a subdirectory just one level lower. So you can try moving the manage.py file one level lower and check that it still appears.

@bhavyaus @aeschli Note that currently the extension is only published for a subset of platforms (#282). You can download the latest for testing from the latest (red) build for the main branch at https://dev.azure.com/monacotools/Monaco/_build?definitionId=499.
