Great vid! It's a bit funny to me how so many people who've only ever programmed in Python are amazed by VS Code's visual debugging, whereas the same capabilities have existed in MATLAB for many years.. MATLAB people take this stuff for granted but it's not easy to implement

Thanks a lot for creating this video. I had to learn basic debugging steps of VS code by searching other videos on Youtube ( for the basics), then I was able to understand your video fully, But I must say - Your video helped me understand the debugging on VS code completely. All the best Matt.

Debugger in VScode wasn't working and I couldn't figure out why. It so happened I didn't have the debugpy in my environment... I never knew such a thing even existed and I've been debugging for years. The more you know. Thank you for the helpful tutorial.

Also, I want to pointed to point out something that isn't mentioned in this video: neither attaching nor launching works for Jupyter notebooks in VS Code. To debug notebooks, you need to press the dropdown under the run button of each cell and click on "Run and Debug".

great video, thank you! do you have video about how to remote debug in vscode for c++? thanks

[kristenwaterman]

Wondering how to approach this with a script that calls to other scripts and has lots and lots of commands with arguments. any tips??

[uwegenosdude]

Thanks for your interesting and super long video.
Perhaps you can help me cause I don't knwo how can I debug something like
"cat myfile | python-script-1.py | python-script-2.py"?
I tried to use debugpy too. But I have to call both scripts like so
"python -m debugpy --listen 5678 --wait-for-client python-script-1.py"
and I don't know what to do if I want to debug both scripts at once. Perhaps there is a way to bring vs code into listen mode and connect to it from the cmdline scripts? This is the way I was used to work with when remote debugging PHP with xdebug.
