- Install the Python and pylint extensions and restart VSCODE.
- Initialize configurations. A configuration drives VS Code's behavior during a debugging session. Configurations are defined in a launch.json file that's stored in a .vscode folder in your workspace.
- To initialize debug configurations, first select the Debug View in the sidebar. If you don't yet have any configurations defined, you'll see "No Configurations" in the drop-down list, and a dot on the settings icon.
- To generate a launch.json file with Python configurations:
- Select the Settings button or use the Debug > Open configurations menu command.
- In the Select Environment drop-down list that appears, select Python.
The Python extension then creates and opens a launch.json file that contains number of pre-defined configurations. You can modify configurations (to add arguments, for example), and also add custom configurations.Python: Attach or Python: Remote Attach configuration must be defined like this. { "name": "Python: Remote Attach", "type": "python", "request": "attach", "port": 5678, "host": "localhost", "pathMappings": [ { "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}", "remoteRoot": "${workspaceFolder}" } ] } -
After the initial configuration is done, setup VSCODE for remote debugging.
- Install ptvsd using python -m pip install --upgrade ptvsd into your environment.
- For debuggingm the default Port for the ptvsd use is 5678. You may need to open the port for debugging in the appropriate firewall or other networking configuration.
