Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Expected: setting "justMyCode": false within the autogenerated launch.json file should allow the debugger to step through imported code.

Actual: setting "justMyCode": false within the autogenerated launch.json file results in the same "frame skipped" message that says to set "justMyCode": false within the autogenerated launch.json file.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create and use a python venv.
  2. Install a package via pip.
  3. Create a script, importing that package and calling a function from it.
  4. Debug and try to step into the package function call.
  5. See the "frame was skipped" message and set the "justMyCode" option to false in the launch.json file.
  6. See the "frame was skipped" message anyway because setting "justMyCode" to false does not work.

Diagnostic data

  • Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.10.12
  • Type of virtual environment used (e.g. conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): Venv
  • Value of the python.languageServer setting: Default
Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

    It it possible to get it to work by also adding "purpose": ["debug-in-terminal"], but since following the directions in the message did not work and this necessary part of the launch.json file was not included, it is still a bug that needs to be fixed: make the debugger work with the instructions provided to the user; or change how the launch.json file is autogenerated to work with the instructions provided to the user; or include an additional instruction to include the "purpose": ["debug-in-terminal"] in the "frame skipped" message. Whichever of the three can be done ought to be done, because the current behavior is obviously incorrect.

    Debug and try to step into the package function call

    Can you clarify where you are triggering this from? You can trigger debugging for 3 possible locations. The instructions vary based on which one you used. There is the button in the debug view, then there is "debug-in-terminal" button at the top of the open python file, then there is the debug menu item.

    The debugger itself does not know how this was triggered, so the message generated only suggests a setting that it understands. For the debug-in-terminal case the settings are generated on the fly, if there isn't already a setting in the launch.json for this purpose (i.e., using the purpose flag).

    The following feature should address this as it aims to provide a dedicated solution enabling justMyCode for all scenarios #116

    The debug button on the top right, next to the split panel button. The other two methods ("Python: Current file" in debug panel and Run > Start Debugging menu item) work as expected.

    I wanted to chime in to say that I have been experiencing something similar on v2023.18.0 and v2023.20.0. It's been difficult to feel confident in what I'm experiencing and I'm afraid I still don't have a reliable minimal erpro, but my experience is basically:

    Given the setup steps mentioned by Jon Tyler (@k98kurz).

    1. I use Debug Python File option with config setting justMyCode = false
    2. The first time after restarting/reloading VSCode, it works (I can step into 3rd party code).
    3. If I stop or let the debugging session finish, then use Debug Python File again, it behaves as though justMyCode = true

    As a workaround, I have to restart VSCode constantly to make sure I can retain the ability to step into 3rd party code.

    Apologies for not having a reliable repro a bit more fully formed. My hope is that the anecdote above will either be enough for a reproduction, or enough to know where to look for a likely cause in the code.

    Quick update to say that I've also experienced this same "it works the first time and then doesn't work any subsequent times" using the Testing Explorer Debug Test option. In the situation I just encountered, my test does trigger a segmentation fault, although I'm not sure that's necessary for the reproduction.

    When you trigger Debug Python File It only runs a launch config that have the "purpose": "debug-in-terminal". If not it doesn't use the launch.json file and returns a basic config. So if you want to use a specific config with this value, you need to add "purpose": "debug-in-terminal" to the specific configuration.

    This issue can also be related to #137. Here you will be able to run the config that you want with this button.

    If not it doesn't use the launch.json file and returns a basic config. So if you want to use a specific config with this value, you need to add "purpose": "debug-in-terminal" to the specific configuration.

    In my reproductions with both Debug Python File and Debug Test, the purpose field is populated with debug-in-terminal and debug-test respectively. From what I'm seeing, justMyCode = false is lost after the first debug session is terminated. Restarting VSCode "resets" the usage counter, but it still reverts back to justMyCode = true behavior after one debug session has completed.

    I'll test again once #138 merges to see if it's still reproducible and open a new issue if it is (to make sure the impact and repro are super clear). Thanks!

    my configuration. adding justMyCode fails with exception. works perfectly fine without justMyCode but i want to put breakpoints in virtualenv libraries

    I got it to work by removing these breakpoints in the debugger. when they are enabled on start it fails, but you can add them back after it has started

    Disabling the breakpoints mentioned by Brian Duenas (@brian316) worked for me as well. Thank you for the workaround!
    No change to my launch.json required.

    Some info about my issue.
    Everything was working fine until it stopped working for seemingly no reason sometime this week.
    I was using a python 3.10.10 venv, which I later upgraded to a python 3.12.4 venv on a Windows 11 computer.

    Some info about the error messages I was getting:
    The error I was getting with Python 3.12 was: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '<PYTHON INSTALL DIR>\site-packages'

    With Python 3.10 the error was: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: '<PYTHON INSTALL DIR>\\python310.zip'

    It is worth noting that Python 3.10 was installed globally, and Python 3.12 was installed to my user account.

    It's weird that Brian Duenas (@brian316) 's method actually works without the need to touch launch.json at all.

    I'm not having much luck with matching my breakpoint settings to those in #139 (comment). I'm in a multi-root/folder workspace and I've been suspicious that that may affect this behavior (perhaps due to the extension not mapping the virtual environment files correctly from the workspaceFolder relative path to the debugpy context?).

    UPDATE: I just tried setting debugpy.debugJustMyCode to false in one or both of my User and Workspace settings files and it has allowed be to step into library code without worrying about Brian Duenas (@brian316)'s breakpoint suggestion.

    I had always been relying on the launch-configuration-level setting of justMyCode being set to false to be sufficient. Is the extension perhaps not merging the different levels of configs as expected and leading to the default debugpy.debugJustMyCode to trump the launch-configuration-level justMyCode when specified in .code-workspace files?

    Have the same issue with Python 3.12 while running tests:

    VSCode: 1.95.1
    Pylance: v2024.10.1
    Extension: v2024.12.0

    just piling on, this is the only way I could get breakpoints to work on packages installed in my venv in VSCode with debugpy
