Python debugger fails to launch #18486
Description
Issue Type: Bug
Starting at some point in the last ~21 hours I became unable to launch the Python debugger. When I try to launch it (either via the play button on the run and debug pane, or with F5) it tries to run the launcher script in the terminal but then silently exists. I see no errors in any output windows other than in the Window one which says "Server[1] disconnected unexpectedly" (as does the developer console).
I've not changed anything about my configuration. I've tried to restart VSCode. I've rebooted my machine. Other Python debugging functionality works, such as debugging Azure functions.
I do see that the Python extension updated in that ~21 hour window though.
Extension version: 2022.0.1814523869

Dale (@dalemyers) Can you share logs from Output > Python tab? Try running the debugger before you share the logs. this way it will capture the command used to launch the debugger.

This is the only line:
However, that showed me what the issue is. It's running the pyenv installation rather than the one in the projects virtual environment. I'm not sure why it changed. It's definitely not something I did manually, but switching back to the Python version in the virtual environment solves this issue.
