How do I use the debug console in VSCode？

Question

I really like the debug console feature in VScode, it makes it a lot easier for me to do Python writing. How do I get it to stay on? Is it possible to write launch.json so that the code runs without closing the run afterwards?

I can use 'time.sleep()' to continue this console on. Can I edit the'launch.json'? What are other ways?

Answer 1

It's not possible to keep the debug console open after the script ends, because the memory is released back to the operating system.

Edit: as @nigh_anxiety mentioned, setting a breakpoint at the end of the script is probably a more elegant solution.

Old Answer:

Instead, you could wait for user input before exiting, with a line like

input('press enter to quit')

at the end of your file.

Answer 2

The interactive window should work for you. Open an interactive window with the command Jupyter: Create Interactive Window

Or right-click on the code editor interface and select Run Current File in Python Interactive Window .

In this window, you can directly run the code file or write the code and then shift+enter to run.

More details can be found in the documentation .
