Error while finding module in VS code debugger

Question

I have tried different solutions to enable me to debug a python file in my project. Here is my file structure:

project-main

-ns

-examples

and several Python files in examples and ns. Basically, all example files are using ns or other imported modules. I also have a conda environment that I have already activated in vs code terminal. And here is my launch.json file:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python Module",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "module": "project-main.examples",
        }
    ]
}

I select Start debugging from the Run menu but I keep getting this error:

E+00000.063: Error determining module path for sys.argv

             Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer 1

Here is the correct config:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Module",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "module": "examples.run_this",
            "justMyCode": true
        }
    ]
}

so basically for the module field, I have to enter the name of the subfolder that includes the main running file (run_this) and then the name of the running file.
