Our newly released feature is no-config debugging! Read these docs to learn how to use it and we are looking for feedback on the docs as well as testing the feature

1. Read the wiki docs to learn about the feature
2. install the python-debugger extension
3. create a python project with a simple script you can add a breakpoint to
4. create a python environment (use command palette command)
5. activate this environment in a new terminal .source .venv/bin/activate
6. now you should be set up to follow the instructions from the docs to try this feature.

Please select which type of shell you use so we can get coverage across shells and feel free to test more if you desire but these are the different types that need to be covered:

• bash / zsh
• fish
• powershell
• cmd.exe
  (whoever has windows will have to test two shells, sorry!)

Thanks

Tested on zsh, verified with a simple script and a flask application. Setup instructions read and worked well for me.

LGTM on Ubuntu with bash and fish. Verified with a simple script.

Took a second to make sure settings were correct for python, had to disable the experiment and the auto venv activation, but then worked well. Just fiddly to get the shell state correct initially. 👍

tested both pwsh and cmd
