VSCode run without debugging doesn't work

Question

Using VSCode I can run my test python code by pressing the play icon top right.

This should = run without debugging but I get no output

I have tried adding python path to settings.json as per

vscode "Run Without Debugging" doesn't open Python Debug Console

but no change.

Not a big issue but any non workaround solutions.

Answer 1

I Fixed: Re-installing the debugger (in my case IntelliSense)

1. File Menu "Run" - "Install Additional Debuggers..."
2. Then in the actual debugger (Generally the first) select Uninstall
3. Restart VScode
4. File Menu "Run" - "Install Additional Debuggers..."
5. Search and install the debugger again
6. Try

Answer 2

Recently stumbled upon the same problem myself. While running some tests on JavaScript(Node.js as runtime). On a script file with nothing, but a simple console.log('Works!'); it would not print out on the Debug Console using the default Node.js launch configuration. From what I understand it seems to be a Debugger issue of VS Code(ver-1.87). Possible solutions:

1. It should be fixed in the nightly version here

2. Install an older version version. Ver-1.83 is what specifically worked for me.
