Whenever I am launching a debug session since the release of version 25.0.0 of the extension, the debugger hangs for ~30s, then I get this popup:

This happens when launching via a launch config or directly launching a file in debug mode.

Reverting to version 24.14.2 of the extension fixes this.

I am on WSL, using a Pixi Python environment.

Here are the Python Debugger logs:

    I would hazard a guess this is similar to the problem with this issue: #617

    yes good guess Rich Chiodo (@rchiodo)

    Raphaël Melançon (@RaphaelMelanconAtBentley) can you include the launch config you are trying to run with? And the code you are attempting to debug?

    Well, there isn't always a launch config, as it also happens when I simply use this option:

    Image

    And it happens with any code, even this:

    # test_debugger.py
if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Hello, world!")

    Might it have something to do with the environment activation in the terminal?
    I have "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true and "python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true.

    Here is what the Python Debug Console terminal shows when it is created:

    > /home/pan/.pixi/bin/pixi shell --manifest-path /home/pan/repositories/Booster-AI/pixi.toml --environment booster-ai-development
> /home/pan/.pixi/bin/pixi shell --manifest-path /home/pan/repositories/Booster-AI/pixi.toml --environment booster-ai-development

    This should be fixed and be out in the most recent point release of the python debugger extension since it is related to #617 which I fixed. Closing for now but re-comment if not and I can reopen

    I am on the latest (pre-release) version of both the Python and the Python Debugger extensions, and this is still happening.

    Eleanor Boyd (@eleanorjboyd) Please reopen

    Weirdly, I can debug unit test if I use the inline test indicator to debug a test. Bug any other way I tried launching a debugging session results in a hang followed by a timeout error.

    Hi! Can you try setting these settings and see if either works:

    1. set python.useEnvironmentsExtension: false
    2. set the above to true, then do python-envs.terminal.autoActivationType: off
