Errors when starting to debug

[roblourens]

Testing #141

Debugging started fine, but I got this error in the terminal. It was repeated multiple times

I get this with v2024.0.0-linux-x64 on VSC 1.86.0. Looks like it's fixed in debugpy 1.8.0?

[Deretaz]

I get this same error with VSCode-x64-1.86.0 (Windows)

Just updated Python Debugger Extension to v2024.0.0

I have tried upgrade to debug v2024.0.0.0 version. It doesn't work for me . And I also tried pre-release version, fail either. python debug extension version: ms-python.debugpy-2024.1.10362349-darwin-arm64
os: mac m1 12.4
python version: 3.8

[paulacamargo25]

Thanks for your issue report, as you can see, the error was on debugpy side. The error was fixed in the version 1.8.0. Currently our last version of the Python Debugger uses debugpy 1.7.0, in the next release we will update the version of debugpy.

I have this issue too with the python debugger in Visual Studio Code - how can I solve it?

As seen in the post above you, it will be fixed in the next version of debugpy. So update it via pip if available

[dorratz]

Thanks a lot, any expected date for the update?

[paulacamargo25]

Thanks for the bug report, the latest pre-release version of the Python Debugger Extension now uses debugpy 1.8.1. Could you try again with the version 2024.3.*? Thank you
