Why is Visual Studio Code Running Old Code?

Question

I'm new to programming and have been practicing python for a few months now. One problem that I keep facing is when vscode executes old code. I have autosave on and have tried closing the program and opening it again. Currently, I have a totally different file open and its showing me TypeError associated with another file I was working on yesterday. The file that I'm running works perfectly fine in other text editors. Thanks in advance!

From my experience, assuming you are using Run(Ctrl+F5 or F5) , you are probably building off an old project. In Solution Explorer, when you choose or open the project/repository. It will run and build off of that project until you choose a new one. Just opening another file in the same window/solution will not change the build path.

Another solution you could try is to execute the program file from cmd line in the terminal(ctrl + `) .
