Description
Python Debugger: 2025.10.0
Python: 3.12.11
VS Code Version: 1.99.3 (system setup)
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045
python file
import sys
if __name__ == '__main__':
a = sys.argv[1]
print(a)
launch.json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python Debugger: Current File",
"type": "debugpy",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${file}",
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"args": [
"真・侍.txt"
]
}
]
}
This prints "真侍.txt" and "・" is missing.
