Settings: Get directory of VSCode for Portable Setup

[lon91ong]

I know the topic is exactly same as #82602 , more #11918
I'm struggled in the same problem
I want share vscode and python (lite version) with people,
if ${execPath} present the DIRECTORY where Code.exe located, not the full path like now...

forgive my poor English

if ${execPath} present the DIRECTORY where Code.exe located, not the full path like now...

Why exactly can't you use execPath? Seems to give you exactly what you need.

@joaomoreno what I need is exactly same as #82602
instead of Arduino，I need to share PYTHON lite pack with other fellow

[joaomoreno]

And you want this in your debug launch configs?

[lon91ong]

@joaomoreno I placed the lite PYTHON pack in the VS Code DIRECTORY, like:

VSCode
 |-Code.exe
 |-Python
     |-python.exe
     |-...
 |-...

I want set the "python.pythonPath": "${execPath}\Python\python.exe"
so Python and VS code are all portalbe

[joaomoreno]

So in your settings, I see.

Variables in the settings are not supported out of the box. Right now extensions are resolving this by themselves.
