I want to debug python code (on remote linux) in local windows with VS code.
I did as follows:
- In windows VS code, I can open remote linux python project using SSH.
- Installed python debug tool ptvsd both in windows and remote linux.
- Add code below in python project:
import ptvsd
ptvsd.enable_attach(address = ('$linux_ip', $port))
ptvsd.wait_for_attach()
- Project
launch.json:
{

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python: Remote Attach",
"type": "python",
"request": "attach",
"connect": {
"host": "$linux_ip",
"port": $port
},
"pathMappings": [
{
"localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
"remoteRoot": "$my_real_linux_ws"
}
]
}
]
}
- Start run in remote linux.
- Add break points in vs code, and run -> start debugging, then hit an issue as follows. I am confused that test.py is not in dir
/c4_working/test.pybut in dir/c4_working/python_code/test.py. And this file actually exists. So I am not sure why it would want to find the file in dir/c4_working/test.py? How would I fix it?

Answer
Fixed this issue after creating a new launch.json file for this dir /c4_working/python_code.
