Beginner - General Advice on VS Code Debugging

[YXGuan]

Hi there,

I am trying to debug through the bartender.py code

When debugging the file, here's the 1st error I got: No module named 'rospy'

Here's the launch.json file:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "preLaunchTask": "source",
            "name": "pick_place.py",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": true
        }
    ]
}

setting.json file

{
    "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages",
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/src/interbotix_ros_toolboxes/interbotix_perception_toolbox/interbotix_perception_modules/src",
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/src/interbotix_ros_toolboxes/interbotix_xs_toolbox/interbotix_xs_modules/src",
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/src/interbotix_ros_toolboxes/interbotix_common_toolbox/interbotix_common_modules/src"
        //"/home/yuxiang/ws_moveit/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages",
        //"/opt/ros/noetic/lib/python3/dist-packages"
    ],
    "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages",
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/src/interbotix_ros_toolboxes/interbotix_perception_toolbox/interbotix_perception_modules/src",
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/src/interbotix_ros_toolboxes/interbotix_xs_toolbox/interbotix_xs_modules/src",
        "/home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/src/interbotix_ros_toolboxes/interbotix_common_toolbox/interbotix_common_modules/src"
        //"/home/yuxiang/ws_moveit/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages",
        //"/opt/ros/noetic/lib/python3/dist-packages"
    ]
}

tasks.json

{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "source",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "source /home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/devel/setup.bash" 
        }
    ]
}

@LSinterbotix Hey Luke, can you help me take a quick look plz? Thanks!

I used your configuration files, replacing /home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws with ${workspaceFolder}, and was successful in using the debugger. I do use the VSCode ROS Extension, though I didn't configure the debugger to launch or attach to any processes.

Maybe try replacing the source /home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/devel/setup.bash task command with source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash && source /home/yuxiang/interbotix_ws/devel/setup.bash? It seems like the debugger can't find rospy which would lead me to believe that your Python environment is not being configured correctly; maybe you're missing the Python packages under /opt/ros/noetic/lib/python3/dist-packages?

Sounds good. Thank you boss!
