I have been referring to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging#_justmycode and How to disable "just my code" setting in VSCode debugger?

Despite many attempts, still unable to figure out where to put "justMyCode": false in launch.json. Everywhere I try to put it the editor says "Property justMyCode is not allowed "

Below is a copy of my launch.json. Can someone tell me what should I do ?

It's not enough to Try setting "justMyCode": false as the message in the VS Code debugger suggests. You also need to change "request": "launch" to "request": "test" if you want to step through external code. Here's the Github issue where I found this answer.

    This doesn't work for me, it just says `value is not accepted` after changing it to test – cluis92 Aug 26 '20 at 15:23

    This doesn't work for me either, it says I must use "Python: Debug Unit Tests". But I'm not trying to debug a test. I'm trying a regular python file. Not sure what OP is trying to debug. Edit: I was able to get it to work by using "request:: "launch" and putting "justMyCode": false in my launch.json instead of the global vscode settings. – jewbix.cube Sep 03 '20 at 06:53
  • @cluis92 It shows that for me too, but I saved it anyway and ran the unit test with debugging and it worked fine. – davzaman Jan 19 '22 at 23:57

    This did the trick for me even though Vscode complained that `"test"` was not allowed (only "launch" or "attach" is allowed) – Zephaniah Grunschlag May 03 '22 at 14:49
  • This is really confusing. It does not work for me. It marks the "value is not accepted" but following the suggestion above I ran it regardless but still does not work. – Heberto Mayorquin Sep 19 '22 at 11:12

you need to put "purpose": ["debug-test"] too.

like

"configurations": [
    {
        "name": "Python: Current File",
        "type": "python",
        "request": "launch",
        "program": "${file}",
        "console": "integratedTerminal",
        "justMyCode": false,
        "purpose": ["debug-test"]
    }
],
