VScode：如何调试python 2.7 cgi脚本？

Question

I have lighttpd web server running on my Windows 7 pc using port 80. My web app calls python cgi scripts. I am trying to configure VScode to debug these python scripts when I click a button on one of my html pages. For example:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/instantlight.py?Input=&lightColor=blue

In my launch.json file I have:

{
  "name": "Python: Attach",
  "type": "python",
  "request": "attach",
  "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "remoteRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "port": 80,
  "secret": "my_secret",
  "host": "localhost"
}

When I launch the debugger and click a button, my breakpoint is never hit. After a minute or two I get the error message " Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly "

What am I missing?

You don't need to attach to a running process as you're launching the server yourself locally (you only need attach if you're attaching to a server you don't start up yourself). So you can use the eg Python: Current File configuration.
