Behaviour

Debugging any pytest test that contains code that creates a child process via multiprocessing's mp.Process() and then later waits for that process to terminate via process.join() results in the debugger exiting early.

Specifically, the debugger terminates immediately after the child process terminates. It seems as though the debugger thinks the primary process has terminated, when in fact it's a child process.

Debugging the exact same code but as a standalone python file (i.e. not a test) doesn't cause this issue.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a pytest file: (e.g. test_debugger.py)
import multiprocessing as mp
import time
def _child_main() -> None:
    time.sleep(0.25)

def test_multiprocessing_join_in_test_body() -> None:
    proc = mp.Process(
        target=_child_main,
        name="debug_multiprocessing_test_body_child",
    )
    proc.daemon = True
    proc.start()
    print("before!")
    proc.join(10)
    print("after!")
    assert proc.exitcode == 0
  1. Open the "Testing" tab on the Activity Bar
  2. Find the test and select "Debug Test"
  3. The test will exit right after proc.join(10) and be marked as skipped - i.e. it will not print "after!" and will not reach the assert
