Bug

Description

Just after downloading and installing the latest update to VS Code I cannot debug my Python code. Everytime I get the message:

Error
Debug adapter process has terminated unexpectedly

Before that last update debugging the same code ran fine.

Reproduces only with extensions

User @Tiancityrua has the same issue:

This problem still occur for me in the latest version.I can't run any python code now!

• Please could you uninstall the extension and re-install this
• Please try debugging a simple python file such as the following (let us know how that goes):

print("Hello World")

• Please could you go into the launch.json file and add a setting as follows:

    "logToFile": true

1. Next start debugging
2. Once it fails, open the extensions folder using the command `Extensions: Open Extensions Folder`,
3. Go into the python extension folder and locate the file `debug.log`
4. Upload the file here

Have the same issue. Did everything as you wrote, but "debug.log" file didn't appear.

VS Code 1.21.1 x64

@zztalker

Please try un-installing the extension and installing it again. If that does not work go into the extensions folder (select the command Extensions: Open Extensions Folder from the command palette) and locate the Python extension directory and delete it manually).

Let me know how this goes.
If it still fails, please provide the following info:

• Python version
• Extension version
• OS Version
• Ensure you are trying to debug a file with a simple `print("Hello World")

@DonJayamanne

It's work! The problem was in the access rights on the folder - to delete it manually I have to delete everything inside the folder and then ms-python folder at all. After I manually clean folder and reinstall extension debug started and debug.log appeared in the extension folder.

Thank you for help!

@DonJayamanne
It's really work!Maybe after this time,I can manually clean folder and reinstall extension to solve similar problems.Thank you for a lot!

@DonJayamanne
Yes, it really works! I delete any folder related to python and reinstall python and anaconda extensions. Having done that, I find my vscode works again! Thanks for your advice! Best wishes to you!

Please confirm this works after uninstalling and reinstalling the extension.

I have the same issue, deleting and reinstalling the extension didn't work.

@Tinuxx

I have the same issue, deleting and reinstalling the extension didn't work.

Please could you create a separate issue. Everyone else seems to have this issue due to a faulty installation of the extension.

Hello! I did not reinstall anything. Everything just started to work by itself after a week or two. Maybe it was another update that fixed the problem. Generally everything works by itself 😊 Pete Od: Don Jayamanne Wysłano: poniedziałek, 9 kwietnia 2018 16:55 Do: Microsoft/vscode-python DW: Joukahainen82; Mention Temat: Re: [Microsoft/vscode-python] Debugging Python code does not work(#1125) @Joukahainen82 Please confirm this works after uninstalling and reinstalling the extension. — You are receiving this because you were mentioned.
