Python Debug not working on SSH FS (remote host)

Question

Issue:

I am using VSCode version 1.69.1 on Mac (Version details at the bottom). From Mac, I connect to a remote repo using SSH FS

When I click on 'run' > 'Start Debugging' or 'Run Without Debugging' on a remote python file, the "Run and Debug pane opens" but the file is not run [![Pane is blank][1]][1]

The debugger works for local repos (hosted on Mac).

I have tried reinstalling the Python extension, removed the ~/.vscode-server on the remote server, re-install VSCode on the Mac but nothing seem to have helped.

This was earlier working (tried a week back) but unsure what changed. From the terminal (connected to remote host, rendered by SSH FS, I am able to run python test.py and that works

Answer 1

Python Debugger version v2022.10.0 seems to be broken for SSH-FS. Using the previous version of Python extension addressed it.

To install an older version of an extension, click on gear icon> select "Install another version" and select version to install.

I used version v2022.8.1, and that works
