I develop addons for an open source project, in order to have all standard files + my customised addons files I open the project repository and have a symlink to my custom addons directory. Using breakpoints in those files always open a new tab.
When I open the file for working, the path is /dev/my_custom_addon/.../file.py
which is a symlink to
my_home/work/dev/...
which is also the path that my debugger opens when hitting the breakpoint i.e. not the short symlink path but the absolute path
Steps to reproduce:
put a breakpoint in a symlinked file
run your program and hit that breakpoint
vscode will open the same file but from the absolute path, not the symlinked path
Expected Behavior:
Do not open the same file from the symlinked path. Stop the debugger in the same file where I put my breakpoint.
