For some time I have been using VS Code to debug Python code connecting to Excel using pyxll. The procedure I have been using is: Click the debug icon Click "Run and Debug" Select "Attach using Process ID Attach to a local process" Select Excel from the list of processes displayed

Previously VS Code then connected to Excel and I could debug the associated Python code, but starting yesterday nothing happens after selecting Attach using Process ID Attach.

I have not changed any settings or installed new software (that I'm aware of) since the debug process was working.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling VS Code but this made no difference.

  • @Сергей Кох I really don't know how to be more specific. I am trying to debug Python code running in a local process, the process being Excel using the pyxll add-in. The procedure I used to use has stopped working. After clicking "Run and Debug" and selecting "Attach using Process ID Attach to a local process" I used to get a list of locaal processes, but now I get nothing, and I see no way of connecting to the local process. – Doug Jenkins Jan 21 '23 at 21:05
  • Have you tried to use the old version of python extension. – MingJie-MSFT Jan 23 '23 at 05:06
  • I have now uninstalled and reinstalled with older versions, with versions from 3 months and 6 months ago. I also tried the pre-release version. All work up to selecting the Debug Configuration, then nothing happens when I select "Attach using process ID Attach to a local process" – Doug Jenkins Jan 24 '23 at 08:51
  • This problem has now resolved itself (18 Feb 2023). The latest update to VS Code installed itself, and the debug process now works as before. – Doug Jenkins Feb 18 '23 at 02:44

The problem I was having has now fixed itself (since 18 Feb 2023) with the latest update to VS Code. The debug procedure for linking to a local process now works as before. The Version is 1.75.1; details below: enter image description here
