Visual Studio Code Python Debugger Missing Other Threads in Call Stacks

Basic Info

  • Environment: Windows 11
  • Python Version: 3.8.10
  • Use virtual env: Yes
  • VSCode Python extension version: v2022.20.2

Problem

I tried running an Odoo 15 (multi-threaded) application and previously I was able to see that VSCode properly tracked all spawned thread.

However yesterday when I tried to debug my application, I noticed that my breakpoints on code that was supposed to be run on spawned threads weren't hitting (main thread is fine).

After looking at the call stack window, I noticed that what used to be a list of threads are now showing nothing as if there's only 1 thread running.

So I'm wondering that it has something to do with my VSCode settings, but I'm drawing a blank on which. Interestingly, on my colleague's Linux machine, he can debug and see all the threads fine with VSCode

I've tried to do a clean uninstallation of VSCode and re-installed all extensions manually, but to no avail.

Interestingly, I tried writing a simple threaded program (with threading lib, same as Odoo's) and the call stack showed the multiple threads fine, so I'm lost as of why

Solution

  • Turns out I have an entry in my .env GEVENT_SUPPORT=True.

    Once I erased that flag, everything works normal
