I'm a VSCODE first-time user. I tried to run debug on a simple python file and was not successful. I got 2 strange results:
the debug tool bar showed and disappeared instantly
no local variables was shown in VARIABLE section
Please see the screenshot.
Anyone could give me a hint anything was missing in what I did?
You need the python vscode extension to debug a python file. When you press F5 to start debugging, a menu will ask you what you are trying to debug. Click on Python File. The python extension creates a launch.json file for you and starts the debugger.
I noticed the Run and Debug tab is in your screenshot. Click that tab above where the variables would be shown and it should ask you to create the launch.json file in order to debug the file.

Problem Statement
When I try to do ng s -o in my terminal for my Angular app, it says, "How would you like to open this?" inside a popup box where I can choose an app, but choosing an app doesn't work.
Image of Problem
When I try to choose an app, it displays code. When I chose Chrome in the popup box, this happens:
The image shows that when I run an app after ng s -o it just displays code. Also, the tab title in the browser says "ng" when the code shows. Another thing, there is no error in the terminal...
Expected Results
I want to run my Angular app with ng s -o.
Actual Results
The app doesn't serve and asks to open an app.
Note: I am using Visual Studio Code for this.
The problem was related to my cli. I was using PowerShell when I was running ng, and for some strange reason, PowerShell stopped running ng and was asking me to open an app to run the file. Even though this never happened to me before and I was using ng and PowerShell just fine before. Strange!
Now I am using CMD instead. It now runs perfectly. So, I switched cli's from PowerShell to CMD in my integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code and it started working.
I got the idea to switch cli's from this: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/28541
npx ng serve -o works for me in visual studio code.
The problem was caused as the Vs code was using PowerShell mode. By changing it to default cmd mode, the ng commands started to work.
The steps to change from PowerShell to cmd mode is as follows:
Press Ctrl + Shift + P to show all commands.
Type profile in the displayed text box to filter the list.
Select Terminal: Select Default Profile.
You will be prompted to select your preferred terminal shell, you can change this later in your settings or follow the same process as we do now.
My VS code terminal was working fine, until one day when I tried to work on a project, that was still open in VS code, my terminal didn't allow me to type any commands. I couldn't type anything. This is the screen that I get.
Okay, for those of you struggling with the same problem, I've managed to solve it by clicking on the drop-down menu that says powershell and changing it to cmd.
this happened to me and simply
close vs code
right click on it
run as administrator
open the terminal and it will work
this problem happened when I changed the default path of CMD
For me, I tried using Powershell/CMD/Bash and I was having errors/blank terminal. I found typing echo hello and pressing CTRL + C made it appear. So in fact, everything was working, my terminal was just blank/glitched out, but was really accepting input.
I had a similar issue when running ionic serve command which runs the development server on the localhost. I paid attention after executing the command above, and it said:
Use Ctrl+C to quit this process
Pressing Ctrl+C then displays:
Terminate batch job (Y/N)?
Type Y or y
then the command prompt is shown again!
Here is a sample terminal window - trimmed for brevity:
For who has this problem using React. This happens when you start a live version using npm start. The terminal that handles the live version of the app cannot be used for anything else.
So to continue using the terminal you need to open a new terminal to use in parallel. To do so just click on the plus icon in the top right corner of the terminal panel then choose the "Power Shell" option. This will open a new terminal without restarting visual studio.
In Mac, when working with Python, this helped me: instead of clicking on the "Run Code" option, click on "Run Python file", in the right corner.
For Ubuntu users this is solved by this solution:
File -> Preferences -> Setting -> Features -> Terminal -> Inherit Env
I found two vscode on my desktop, I opened the other one and it worked. Looks like I updated it but the older one didn't disappear.
If typing Ctrl+C can help to get out of this frozen state, that will be easier to do with VSCode 1.64 (Jan. 2022)
The terminal can type the answer for you.
Terminal -- Auto-reply
The terminal is now able to automatically reply when a specific sequences of characters is received.
A good example of where this is useful, which is also the only default case, is the Windows batch script message Terminate batch job (Y/N)? after hitting Ctrl+C when running a batch script.
This typically just ends up causing problems for the user.
The terminal will now automatically reply with Y and enter (\r) which makes Ctrl+C in Windows feel much better.
Pressing Ctrl+C will immediately reply to the question and return to the prompt:
Theme: Sapphire
The feature was made generically so you can setup custom replies for other thing, just be careful when doing this as you are sending text to the process automatically.
For example you could use it to automatically update Oh My Zsh when prompted:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"[Oh My Zsh] Would you like to check for updates? [Y/n]": "Y\r"
}
If you use Clink and enable their similar feature, you can disable it in Clink or in VS Code by setting the reply to null to avoid the two features conflicting with each other:
"terminal.integrated.autoReplies": {
"Terminate batch job (Y/N)": null
}
Go to terminal, preferences, settings.
Check "run code in terminal"
Restart VS.
I changed from bash to powershell in terminal first but the command prompt still not shown.
Then I navigate to File -> Perferences -> Settings and it starts working (command prompt shown)
This seems to just be a display problem. It happened to me when I changed my display settings for desktop icon and app scaling settings.
I managed to fix the problem by simply restarting my computer and re-opening VS code
I had the same problem ... In my case just run vs-code as administrator and works
I have a Console application open in VS Code. When I press Ctrl-F5, the output of my program is displayed in a DEBUG CONSOLE window, along with other text.
How do I get Visual Studio code to launch my program in a new console window?
As documented here this can be achieved using this setting:
"console": "externalTerminal"
The settings file is in the solution directory: .vscode/launch.json .
When you're just using Tasks and not Launchers, you can follow the advice here.
For me on Linux, I changed my shell command in VSCode from command to gnome-terminal -e command. That did the trick; that's all I had to do.
Note that if you do this you can get rid of the presentation option set from your task.
I would like to F11 a python file in Eclipse and when I hit a breakpoint automatically enter the Python Interactive Console (not the default pydev debug console).
I understand that I could upon entering debug mode open a new interactive python console (I have turned on the connection between the interactive console and the debug console) and work from there. But not only is that an extra step but it is frustrating because everytime I interact with such an interactive console it shoves me back to the debug console! Then I have to go review the interactive console. I also understand that I could do a 'runfile' from within the interactive console, but I really want to use the convenient F11 capacity of eclipse to just be in an editor, hit F11 and when I break enter the interactive console.
Basically I would like the Interactive Console to be my debug console. Possible?
If the F11 approach is not possible, is there another approach? My goal is to get my history of command typing available to me with arrow keys. Not possible in the default python debug console from what I can tell. Perhaps if I made the pydev debug console ipython?
Thanks, I have searched a lot on this but can't come up with a solution.
from PyDev 3.9.2 onwards, a console prompt with history, code-completion, etc. will appear automatically.
