Requirements:

1. Latest VS Code insiders
2. Latest Python Extension insiders (pre-release)
3. Latest Python Debugger Extension insiders (pre-release)

Verification steps

1. Create a simple python file.
2. Create a debug configuration for that file using type: "python" like:

{
     "name": "Python: Current File",
     "type": "python",
     "request": "launch",
     "program": "${file}",
     "console": "integratedTerminal",
}

4. Run the debugger, set breakpoints and make sure that everything works.
5. The debugger will open a terminal, make sure that the path to the debugpy/adapter is ms-python.debugpy-version and not the python extension.

7. Try more configurations, and check that everything works properly. Here you will find more doc about the different config that we have.

I am getting following error at step 4

Here is my set up. I assume I have set it up correctly as mentioned in the description. Let me know if I am missing anything?

Make sure that the path to the debugpy/adapter is ms-python.debugpy and not the python extension.

Can you please explain in detail, how to do this? Is there a documentation linked?

Try more configurations, and check that everything works properly.

What other configurations should we try?

I am sorry that I have to ask such questions. I am not an expert in this area. It would be great if you can provide some doc.

I have the exact same questions and problems. I tried to replace ${file} with a relative path to the workspace root, and it still didn't work.

@paulacamargo25 if you could put some more detail on how to test, that'd be great :)

I am in a similar position - I've gone through the steps I can complete, but I have the same follow-up questions as Sandeep.

@andreamah @devinvalenciano @sandy081 There is an error with the activation in the last Python Debugger extension. Could you try downloading your platform version here. i also update the tpi with a better description.
