You can modify configurations (to add arguments, for example), and also add custom configurations. The Python extension then creates and opens a launch.json file that contains a pre-defined configuration based on what you previously selected, in this case, Python File. Note: Starting a debugging session through the Debug Panel, F5 or Run > Start Debugging when no configuration exists will also bring up the debug configuration menu, but will not create a launch.json file. For now, in the Select a debug configuration menu that appears, select Python File. Select the create a launch.json file link (outlined in the image above) or use the Run > Open configurations menu command.Ī configuration menu will open from the Command Palette allowing you to choose the type of debug configuration you want for the opened file. To generate a launch.json file with Python configurations, do the following steps:
If you don't yet have any configurations defined, you'll see a button to Run and Debug and a link to create a configuration (launch.json) file: To initialize debug configurations, first select the Run view in the sidebar: Note: To change debugging configuration, your code must be stored in a folder. Configurations are defined in a launch.json file that's stored in a. Initialize configurationsĪ configuration drives VS Code's behavior during a debugging session. This article mainly addresses Python-specific debugging configurations, including the necessary steps for specific app types and remote debugging. Both tutorials demonstrate core skills like setting breakpoints and stepping through code.įor general debugging features such as inspecting variables, setting breakpoints, and other activities that aren't language-dependent, review VS Code debugging. For a short walkthrough of basic debugging, see Tutorial - Configure and run the debugger.
The Python extension supports debugging of several types of Python applications.
