The issue where running a single test in the VSCode debugger would trigger other tests was due to a known bug in pytest (pytest issue #7409).
This workaround is no longer necessary because VSCode's Python debugger (vscode-python-debugger) depends on debugpy, where the root cause was fixed in commit 1 and commit 2, as referenced in debugpy issue #275.
Therefore, the workaround can be safely removed. Simply ensure you're using the latest version of the VSCode Python Debugger currently (
2025.8.0).More info on the extension: VSCode Python Debugger
