VS Code Python Timeout waiting for debugger connection

Question

Yesterday, before Visual Studio Code updated itself (from 1.27.2 to 1.28.2), I could open it from an anaconda prompt after activating a certain environment and debug a script. Now when I try to debug a script, I get an error about a Timeout waiting for debugger connection.

I've followed some advice on another thread (Visual Studio Code Python Timeout waiting for debugger connection) and can get it to work if I use the configuration below, but it still seems to be a problem that it won't run in an integrated terminal anymore.

This used to work but breaks now:

{
    "name": "Python: Current File (Integrated Terminal)",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${file}",
    "stopOnEntry": true,
    "console": "integratedTerminal"
},

This works now if I want to run in debugger console.

{
    "name": "Python: Debug",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "launch",
    "program": "${file}",
    "stopOnEntry": true,
    "console": "none"
},

Nevermind, seems like this was a bug that was fixed promptly. — Jimmy

I had the same issue and to fix that I added following line to the settings.json file:

{
    // to fix 'Timeout waiting for debugger connections'
    "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": false
}
