VSCode messed debugging, watches, variables, evaluation with python












0














I just noticed my VSCode debugger stopped working. I messed it up by accident or maybe the update changed something. Either way, I have no clue what to change to get it working.



What doesn't work is Variable list during debugging - it is always empty. Watches show as not available, calls tack only displays paused on breakpoint. Breakpoints work but stepping over lines is not available. Also, trying to evaluate a piece of code gives:



Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/█/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2018.10.1/pythonFiles/experimental/ptvsd/ptvsd/wrapper.py", line 1339, in done
fut.result()
File "/home/█/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2018.10.1/pythonFiles/experimental/ptvsd/ptvsd/futures.py", line 40, in result
reraise(self._exc_info)
File "/home/█/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2018.10.1/pythonFiles/experimental/ptvsd/ptvsd/futures.py", line 149, in callback
x = next(it)
File "/home/█/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.python-2018.10.1/pythonFiles/experimental/ptvsd/ptvsd/wrapper.py", line 1957, in on_evaluate
vsc_fid = int(args['frameId'])
KeyError: 'frameId'


I suppose it is a matter of some basic config but I can't find a solution

  • @BrettCannon I identified 2 problems: 1. Linux Mint software manager distributes an erratic version of VSCode, changing back to .deb from VS-page helped with KeyError I mentioned. 2. Debugging doesnt work with conda environment (not debugging itself, but watches/variables/ignoring breakpoints). Using virtualenv or no env for debugging pieces of code is a workaround for me. I will reproduce the problem later.
