Debugger silently crashes as it seems #812
Description
I have quite a journey already behind, so my apologies if I'm wrong here. It started with the debugger not working at all, but let me try to make it as short as possible.
- observation: run file & debugger is silently crashing via remote tunnels connection (from macOS to Windows)
- observation: run file & debugger is silently crashing when invoked locally (fully uninstalled VS Code as good as I could with deleting cache folders and registry entries)
- partial solution: run file & debugger works again when invoked locally
now I am with a tunnel connection where I can run a file but when I try to debug the file (just with the debug play button) the debugger still crashes silently. at least that's now narrowed down somewhat.
all configs were working before (launch.json, venv, etc) and I'm using the latest VS Code (not insiders) everywhere.
How can I further debug this and bring helpful information?

so sorry this is happening! Best thing to try to start is to disable / enable the environments extension and see if this makes a difference. You can do so with the setting "python.useEnvironmentsExtension" let me know if on or off changes the behavior here

Hey again Eleanor Boyd (@eleanorjboyd),
nope, disabling (and reloading the window) didn't change anything. The described issues still persists (with updated vscode btw which was released meanwhile).
