Python debugging not working

[gmikhail]

Issue Type: Bug

When I press debug button (or F5) - nothing happened. No Terminal or Debug Console output. Even no errors message. Debug overlay flashes and that's it.

Also shortcut Ctrl+F5 (start without debugging) not working as expected (debug overlay flashes, but file not executed), but when I press "Run Python File in Terminal" button, it works. Am I misunderstanding something? What is the keyboard shortcut for "Run" button, then?

Previously, debugging worked on this computer. Problems started after update. Unfortunately, I have not updated for a long time, therefore I can’t say specifically with which version everything broke.

My launch.json

{
    // 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: Текущий файл",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal"
        }
    ]
}

I don’t know for sure this is an extension bug or VS Code. Please, move the issue to the appropriate place, if nessesary.

This has also suddenly started happening on my machine as well. Updated to the latest extension version as of 10 minutes ago.

@andrew-buckley @gmikhail it is highly likely this issue #7836 . We are working on providing a fix for this. Meanwhile if you need a workaround see here: #7836 (comment)
