I would like to have possibility to do a debugging of Django application in Visual Studio Code. I have a virtualenv, made a change in launch.json file that look like this:
{ "name": "Django", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "stopOnEntry": true, "pythonPath": "${workspaceRoot}/.venv/bin/python2.7", "program": "${workspaceRoot}/mysite/manage.py", "args": [ "runserver" ], "debugOptions": [ "WaitOnAbnormalExit", "WaitOnNormalExit", "DjangoDebugging", "RedirectOutput" ] },
put several break points in the code and run it. Unfortunately, the execution is not stopped on the line with break points. I tried the same without virtualenv and everything worked perfectly.
Please, point out what I am doing wrong here.

For me, the following 2 changes worked
- Add an absolute path for pythonPath
- Use the
"--noreload"
option while starting the project
Here’s the relevant part of my config
{ "name": "Django", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "stopOnEntry": true, "pythonPath": "/Users/xyz/Documents/dev/my_project/my_project_env/bin/python", "program": "${workspaceRoot}/manage.py", "args": [ "runserver", "0.0.0.0:8080", "--noreload" ], "debugOptions": [ "WaitOnAbnormalExit", "WaitOnNormalExit", "RedirectOutput", "DjangoDebugging" ] },
