Not sure if this is related to this issue too?:

Python debugger doesn't launch

I am trying to debug an extremely simple python file: print('hi') print('hello') # debug line set here with an extremely simple debug launch.json: { "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Python: Current File", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "program": "${file}", "console": "integratedTerminal", "justMyCode": true } ] } When I press F5, nothing happens.

2. Go into the debugger and press the Play button to launch the python flask server - you can see her successful run at 6:04, however when I press it nothing at all happens. No terminal output or errors.

Running the flask command manually on the terminal, by typing it out, I can launch the flask server. So this seems to be an issue with cursors debugger.

I just wanted to show that this works:

But this does not work:

<sorry I can’t upload more than one picture due to really dumb policy>

(the pictures show selecting the debugger “Python Debugger: current file” and not “Python: current file”)

The python debugger appears from installing the “Python Debugger” extension.

Whatever one inside the regular “Python” extension does not work for me. I don’t even think there is one inside that extension despite what the introduction page says. For instance the folder inside C:/Users//.cursor/extensions corresponding to python.debugpy didn’t show up until I installed this python debugger extension in addition to the python extension.
