Python debug configuration generator for vscode

Install

pip install vpdb

Command Line Tools

vpdb

VSCode debug configuration generator from a python command line.

It can automatically generate the debug configuration file for vscode by just adding vpdb in front of your python command. It will parse the environment variables and the arguments list correctly.

For example:

vpdb CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1,2 python train.py --batch-size 16 --lr 1e-4

It will generate the debug configuration in .vscode/launch.json. Then you can debug your python file by clicking the corresponding button.

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: python train.py --batch-size 16 --lr 1e-4",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "train.py",
            "env": {
                "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES": "1,2"
            },
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "args": [
                "--batch-size",
                "16",
                "--lr",
                "1e-4"
            ],
            "cwd": "/home/xxx/demo_project"
        }
    ]
}
