Hi there!

When I try to run Python Debugger: Debug Python File I get:

0.00s - Debugger warning: It seems that frozen modules are being used, which may
0.00s - make the debugger miss breakpoints. Please pass -Xfrozen_modules=off
0.00s - to python to disable frozen modules.
0.00s - Note: Debugging will proceed. Set PYDEVD_DISABLE_FILE_VALIDATION=1 to disable this validation.

My python file has the following modules:

import os
import pickle
import sys
import warnings

sys.path.insert(1, "../config/")

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

import pandas as pd

import config
from core_forecast.model_forecast import BaseExperimentalConstrutor, ModeloForecast, Oraculo, ArrumaPrevisaoNegativa
from core_forecast.utils.checks import check_if_variaveis_usuario_are_in_the_df
from core_forecast.utils.save_load import CriaParser, clear_directories, save_to_csv, save_to_json
from model_hyper_parameters import model_mapping
from utils.extra import new_data_from_window
from utils.metrics_porto import protocolo_erro_porto, relatorio_metricas_porto

My launch.json including "purpose":["debug-in-terminal"] and "pythonArgs": ["-Xfrozen_modules=off"] as suggested:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python Debugger: Current File",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/src",
            "justMyCode": false,
            "python": "~/.conda/envs/time_series/bin/python",
            "pythonArgs": ["-Xfrozen_modules=off"],
            "purpose":["debug-in-terminal"],
            "args": [
                "-d","../data/05_model_input/comportamento_ALG_PRM/dados_input_model.csv",
                "-o","../data/07_model_output",
                ]
        }
    ]
}

still don't work.

Thanks in advance!
