I've looked up video tutorials on this that seems to focus just on how to debug a single file.
I'm running a simulation code that probably goes through 100s different python and C++ source files. There's a particular spot in a python function that I want to set a breakpoint for. I have set the breakpoint.
I usually run the simulation code with
python3 path/to/sim/directory path/to/input
How can I use this command with the debugger in VSC?
You can read document for more information.
First select the Run view in the sidebar:
If you don't yet have any configurations defined, you'll see a button to Run and Debug and a link to create a configuration (launch.json) file:
To generate a file with Python configurations, do the following steps:
Select the create a launch.json file link (outlined in the image above) or use the Run > Open configurations menu command.
A configuration menu will open from the Command Palette allowing you to choose the type of debug configuration you want for the opened file. For now, in the Select a debug configuration menu that appears, select Python File.
Then you can use debug mode to run python file.
