Description
The following script executes a Python module in a subprocess.
# main.py
import subprocess
import sys
subprocess.run([sys.executable, "-m", "sub"])# sub.py
print("Hello, world!")// launch.json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python Debugger: Current File",
"type": "debugpy",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${file}",
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"subProcess": true,
}
]
}Running this in the debugger with "subProcess": true fails:
bash-3.2$ cd /Users/pete/projects/subprocess_test ; /usr/bin/env /Users/pete/projects/subprocess_test/.venv/bin/python /Users/pete/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.debugpy-2025.18.0-darwin-arm64/bundled/libs/debugpy/adapter/../../debugpy/launcher 56894 -- /Users/pete/projects/subprocess_test/main.py
No module named sub
Running it with "subProcess": false works as expected:
bash-3.2$ cd /Users/pete/projects/subprocess_test ; /usr/bin/env /Users/pete/projects/subprocess_test/.venv/bin/python /Users/pete/.vscode/extensions/ms-python.debugpy-2025.18.0-darwin-arm64/bundled/libs/debugpy/adapter/../../debugpy/launcher 57618 -- /Users/pete/projects/subprocess_test/main.py
