I get a prompt with:

Invalid Message: "pythonPath" is not valid if "python" is specified 

and the option to open launch.json. But my launch.json doesn’t contain anything that says "pythonPath":

{
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Docker: Python - General",
      "type": "docker",
      "request": "launch",
      "preLaunchTask": "docker-run: debug",
      "python": {
        "pathMappings": [
          {
            "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "remoteRoot": "/app"
          }
        ],
        "projectType": "general"
      }
    }
  ]
}

and this is my tasks.json:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "type": "docker-build",
      "label": "docker-build",
      "platform": "python",
      "dockerBuild": {
        "tag": "cachepurger:latest",
        "dockerfile": "${workspaceFolder}/Dockerfile",
        "context": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "pull": true
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "docker-run",
      "label": "docker-run: debug",
      "dependsOn": ["docker-build"],
      "python": {
        "file": "src/main.py"
      }
    }
  ]
}

and the Dockerfile:

# For more information, please refer to https://aka.ms/vscode-docker-python
FROM python:3.9.6-slim

# Keeps Python from generating .pyc files in the container
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1

# Turns off buffering for easier container logging
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

# Install pip requirements
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app

# Creates a non-root user with an explicit UID and adds permission to access the /app folder
# For more info, please refer to https://aka.ms/vscode-docker-python-configure-containers
RUN adduser -u 5678 --disabled-password --gecos "" appuser && chown -R appuser /app
USER appuser

# During debugging, this entry point will be overridden. For more information, please refer to https://aka.ms/vscode-docker-python-debug
CMD ["python", "src/main.py"]

all created by the "Docker: Add Dockerfiles to Workspace…" -> "Python: General" command. It worked before but stopped working now. I tried to use Python 3.9.6 image, since that is the one from my .venv but no success. The image gets build without an error and also docker run works fine. The moment it tries to "attach" I get this message.

This is the terminal output:

  1. Your configuration of python options in launch.json is incorrect.

    enter image description here

    python

    The full path that points to the Python interpreter to be used for debugging.

  2. Your code is fine. It’s VSCode / Python Extension that got updated to version 1.75 and 2023.02 respectively and hence this error is new. Please refer to this issue for constant development on the bug. As for now, uninstall VSCode and re-install 1.74, and re-install the python extension before 2023.02 and you should be good to go.

  3. Today march 2, 2023, I’ve switched to the pre-release version of python extension and it works, sure it will be solved in next python extension version, for now, you can switch manually the extension version.enter image description here
