get_ipython in vscode debugger giving error

[decormatters]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.36.1
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): XXX
• OS and version: mac 10.14.15
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.7.3
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): virtualenv
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: jupyterlab
• Jedi or Language Server? (i.e. what is "python.jediEnabled" set to; more info How to update the language server to the latest stable version vscode-python#3977): XXX

Expected behaviour

should be able to run debugger on run_line_magic functions

Actual behaviour

running the following in the debugger gives an error. non-get_ipython() lines seem fine.

get_ipython().run_line_magic('load_ext', 'autoreload')

Exception has occurred: NameError
name 'get_ipython' is not defined
  File "/Users/mattc/Documents/Playground/course-v3/nbs/dl2/01_matmul.py", line 22, in <module>
    get_ipython().run_line_magic('load_ext', 'autoreload')

Steps to reproduce:

1. git clone https://github.com/fastai/course-v3
2. create virtualenv using https://gist.github.com/decormatters/30595a2ad7b07156da3c596209a28292
3. navigate to 01_matmul.ipynb
4. convert to .py
5. set vscode virtual env
6. try debugging

Thanks for reporting this issue.
Please could you let me know how you are debugging this code?
Are you debugging a cell or debugging from the debugger toolbar?

Hi Don, thanks for responding. I am debugging from the debugger toolbar. Here's my launch.json, which has nothing unusual.

Hi Don, I uploaded the code here https://github.com/foobar8675/course-v3-vscode and fumbled through a video showing the bug https://youtu.be/9dFrkwcgRPA

[DonJayamanne]

Unfortunately get_ipython is only available within the context of an IPython session.
@rchiodo @IanMatthewHuff Please could you asist @foobar8675 in debugging their code using the new Data Science debugging functionality.

I don't believe this is a bug. It's behaving as designed. You have to debug a cell instead of debugging a file if you have line/cell magics.

Our insider's build has support for debugging cells. See Rong's video here:

This is awesome! Thank you Rich and Don.

Hi @rchiodo <https://github.com/rchiodo>, I wasn't able to step into a pytorch library. Is that the normal behavior? (i do like stepping into library code to figure out what is going on, and was excited at the thought of doing it in a notebook, but if it is not possible, I understand.)

I believe this is because we have it set to Just My Code. We could probably make that a user option. Feel free to enter a feature request.

[rchiodo]

This line here:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/blob/306de09b571ffeb2c4767a81c0a2c6d1382bab1b/src/client/datascience/jupyter/jupyterDebugger.ts#L310

If we set that based on a user option, I believe you'd be able to step into anything that was source based.

[matthewchung74]

thanks @rchiodo! one more question, I hope you don't mind ... do you have any idea for how debugging notebooks would work on a remote server? should it work the same as a local notebook, (assuming all the remote vscode python debugging stuff is set up?)

[rchiodo]

When you say remote, do you mean using VS Code's remote SSH connections? That should work exactly the same.
If you're referring to our Remote Jupyter Server URI, that's currently disabled as we're waiting on a security change from the debugger. Once that security fix is in place, that should also work exactly like normal debugging.

[matthewchung74]

awesome. i'm taking the fast.ai course for ML and he recommended vscode as the tool to use locally. i'm glad he did!
