  • OS and version: 10.0.19043.1237

Expected behaviour

When debugging python file in terminal, it should use the option to "execute the file in the file's directory, instead of the current open folder" (setting "python.terminal.executeInFileDir": true)

It is ok when choose "run python file in terminal". It should do the same when debugging.

Actual behaviour

"Debug python file in terminal" (with the same "play button" used to "run python file in terminal") ignores the setting "python.terminal.executeInFileDir": true

Steps to reproduce:

Try to "debug python file in the terminal" with the same "play button" used to "run python file in terminal".

It leads to error specially when leading with local files in debugging, which worked fine when running.

See bellow running and debugging the same file, in the same folder.
