I am working with Python Tools for Visual Studio. (Note, not IronPython.)
I need to work with arguments passed to the module from the command line. I see how to start the module in Debug by right-clicking in the code window and selecting "Start with Debugging". But this approach never prompts me for command line arguments, and len(sys.argv) always == 1.
How do I start my module in debug mode and also pass arguments to it so sys.argv has more than 1 member?
The steps are shown in the image linked here:
{
"name": "Python: Terminal (integrated)",
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"stopOnEntry": true,
"pythonPath": "${config:python.pythonPath}",
"program": "${file}",
"cwd": "",
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"env": {},
"args": [
"input2.csv",
"output2.csv"
],
"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env",
"debugOptions": [],
"internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
}
Make sure you choose that environment while debugging
