Visual Studio Code for Education - Introduction to Python Run Code Doesnt work

" Visual Studio Code for Education - Introduction to Python"

This seems like an amazing course except the run/play button doesn’t work. Since it’s not possible to skip the section without this working then the 18 hour course ends at lesson 1.

I suspect I am not the only person experiencing this problem?

Thanks for the assistance in advance.

Hi @kmb, thanks for your message. Which lesson page are you stuck on? What device/OS/browser are you using? I’m happy to help sort out what’s happening here.

Thanks again!

Using chrome browser and no problems here at all. Seems to be working great for me?

@kmb did you get this resolved? I’m having the same problem using the Edge browser. I have setup a launch.json file as described in the Microsoft VS Code documentation but apparently don’t have the correct settings. Neither Run nor Debug work with the basic Python project.

Happy to help here @rfahr and @kmb - to debug a file in the project environment, click on the drop-down arrow next to the play button for your file:

From there, click on “Debug”. This will open the debugging panel for you along with the tools (we end up creating the json file for you @rfahr):
