{$file} ignored when launging python debugger for current file

[irm-codebase]

Type: Bug

As the title says: when I set a launch.json file and try to debug my code (selecting "with launch.json", VScode returns:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'home/[myusername]/.local/lib

This is making debugging code outside mine (justMyCode=false) impossible, and is very annoying. What's going on?

Note: I use conda, and I have correctly selected my interpreter to be conda.

VS Code version: Code 1.91.1 (f1e16e1e6214d7c44d078b1f0607b2388f29d729, 2024-07-09T22:08:12.169Z) OS version: Linux x64 6.9.11-200.fc40.x86_64 Modes:

@irm-codebase Please share your configuration? There is also a setting that you can use, for just my code. you don't have to specify it in the launch.json.

Just to make sure, it should be "program":"${file}" and not "program":"{$file}"

@karthiknadig sorry, that was a typo. I'm using the correct command.

I tried running the debugger even without the launch.json file, and it still fails. Oddly enough, just running the file works perfectly... no idea what's going on.

Here is the config I've been using

            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        }
    ]
}

Here is a picture of the error. Probably not super useful. I can look for stuff in the callstack if need be.

@karthiknadig Found the reason why the debugger was not working: setting "debugpy.debugJustMyCode": false IS the cause of the issue above! Basically:

• debugJustMyCode: true ---> the debugger works fine (breakpoints are reached, etc)
• debugJustMyCode: false ---> the debugger stops working at all, reaching the Errno 2 state.
