Look into test debugging stability/configuration

Use python debugger in testing. (How to make sure debugpy is used for debugging tests? #112)

Verification steps:

Install python and python debugger extension
Create a simple unittest

Add launch.json config for testing using type: debugpy, like this one

   {
       "name": "Python: Debug Tests",
       "type": "debugpy",
       "request": "launch",
       "program": "${file}",
       "purpose": ["debug-test"],
       "console": "integratedTerminal",
       "justMyCode": true,
       "env": {
         "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}"
       }
   }

Make sure that the test is using the config that you have

In my workspace, I have tests/test_hello.py with the following

import unittest

def hello():
	return 'Here is my test file'

class TestHello(unittest.TestCase):
	def test_hello(self):
		self.assertEqual(hello(), 'Here is my test file')

if __name__ == '__main__':
	unittest.main()

In .vscode/launch.json, I have the following

{
	"name": "Python: Debug Tests",
	"type": "debugpy",
	"request": "launch",
	"program": "${file}",
	"purpose": ["debug-test"],
	"console": "integratedTerminal",
	"justMyCode": true,
	"env": {
	  "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}"
	}
}

Nothing happens when I press the "Debug using launch.json" option.

Now, I have tests/test_hello.py with the following

import unittest

def hello():
	return 'Here is my test file'

class TestHello(unittest.TestCase):
	def test_hello(self):
		self.assertEqual(hello(), 'Here is my test file')
		for i in range(5):
			print(i)
			self.assertEqual(i, i)

if __name__ == '__main__':
	unittest.main()

Paula helped me fix my .vscode/launch.json file to the following:

{
    // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
    // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
    // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Debug Tests",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "purpose": ["debug-test"],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": true,
            "env": {
              "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}"
            }
        }
    ]
}

I was able to verify the issue successfully after that.
