Cannot attach debug for python #564
Description
Type: Bug
Behaviour
When clicking the Python Debugger: Remote Attach from the choices offered, it constantly pops up a dialog with no text and 2 buttons:
Open 'launch.json'
Cancel
The launch.json is properly set as intructed in the VSCode online documentation
Steps to reproduce:
- Installed debugpy with pip
- Added import and setup in my module to listen, with proper address and port, to remote debuggin requests.
- created launch.json in .vscode folder of the project with all the usual settings from the online documentation.
- launch the script from the software's python interpreter. I do get the output from debugpy saying it's listening to connection in the output logs.
- click on the Python Debugger: Remote Attach from the choices offered in VSCode.
- get the dialog.
