launch.json Pyramid debug option tries to launch the wrong program on Windows

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.19.1
Python Extension version: 0.9.1
Python Version: 3.6.3
OS and version: Windows 10 (10.0.16299 Build 16299)

Actual behavior

On Windows when a python launch configuration is used where Pyramid is included in the configuration's debugOptions list, the extension tries to launch the wrong program. Instead of launching pserve.exe, the extension tries to launch pserve which results in an error.

File does not exist. "[Workspace Directory]\partfinder\env\Scripts\pserve"

Expected behavior

The appropriate program (pserve.exe) should be launched.

Steps to reproduce:

  • On Windows, install Visual Studio Code with the ms-python.python extension.
  • Create a new folder and open it with Visual Studio Code.
  • Set up a virtual environment with python -m venv env.
  • Install Pyramid with env/Scripts/pip.exe install pyramid.
  • Configure your python.pythonPath setting for your workspace, by saving the following into .vscode/settings.json:
{
    "python.pythonPath": "${workspaceFolder}/env/Scripts/python.exe"
}
  • Save the following into .vscode/launch.json:
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Pyramid",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "stopOnEntry": true,
            "pythonPath": "${config:python.pythonPath}",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "env": {},
            "envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env",
            "args": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/development.ini"
            ],
            "debugOptions": [
                "RedirectOutput",
                "Pyramid"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
  • Try to start debugging, using the Python: Pyramid launch configuration
