VS Code: "Property Debug Options Not Allowed"

Question

I am trying to learn Python and set up VS Code's Python debugger as this video describes: https://www.lynda.com/Python-tutorials/Choosing-editor-IDE/661773/707220-4.html

However the instructor seems to be on VS Code 1.18 and I'm on 1.28. I set up the launch.json configuration up to how it appears in the video but I'm getting a green line under "debugOptions" that says "Property debugOptions is not allowed". Anyone know how I can set up my environment so that it works the way the instructor is explaining. I'm on Windows 10.

       "name": "Python",
       "type": "python",
       "request": "launch",
       "stopOnEntry": true,
       "pythonPath": "${config:python.pythonPath}",
       "program": "${file}",
       "cwd": "",
       "env":{},
       "envFile": "${workspaceRoot}/.env",
       "console": "none" //add this and go

Answer 2

Instead of

        "debugOptions": [
            "RedirectOutput"
        ],

use

        "redirectOutput": true,

etc. Check for proper configuration options (and whether you want them) at VSCode debugging documentation. I can't seem to find the first two options at the first glance though, consider whether you need it and google it if so.

The whole first config block for you would then be

    {
        "name": "Python",
        "type": "python",
        "request": "launch",
        "stopOnEntry": true,
        "pythonPath": "${config:python.pythonPath}",
        "program": "${file}",
        "cwd": "",
        "env":{},
        "envFile": "${workspaceRoot}/.env",
        "redirectOutput": true,
    },
