vscode working directory when debugging python

Question

I have a simple problem regarding debugging python script on vscode .

When I open a parent directory on vs code that contains multiple children directories and then I open multiple python files from these children directories.

I then try to debug these files.

the problem is that from the launch.json the cwd is set up to be the parent folder. But I am now running a script in subfolders. and jumping from subfolder to subfolder.

So changing the "cwd": "workspaceRoot" every now and then isn't practical for me

is there a way that the debugger will always use the current folder of the debugged script file as the current directory??

p.s this question didn't help me stackoverfollow question

Answer 1

try setting "cwd": "", in launch.json,

at least it works in the latest version, I can run python modules from root and subdirectories without changing launch settings (vs.code 1.16.1, python extension 0.7)
