Unable to Use Python Debugging Functionality in an ARM64 Docker Environment with Code-Server

[topcss]

Hello there,

I'm currently experiencing an issue with the Python debugging functionality in code-server running in a Docker environment on an ARM64 architecture.

Environment Details:

• Architecture: ARM64
• Docker Image: linuxserver/code-server
• Python Version: Python 3.10.12
• Code-Server Version: v4.21.1

Issue Description:
When I try to use the Python debugging functionality in code-server via a web browser interface, it doesn't work as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected Behavior:
I expected to be able to use the Python debugging functionality as in a typical VS Code environment.

Actual Behavior:
Python debugging functionality does not work.

I've attached screenshots to help illustrate the issue. Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I'm eager to contribute in any way I can to help resolve this issue.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best Regards,
Jack

Likewise I'm trying to use alpine dev containers with this extension on Apple silicon and I can't.

When installing this extension, or extensions that rely on it like "Ansible", I get an error like the following:

Incompatible: Can't install 'ms-python.debugpy' extension because it is not compatible with the current version of Visual Studio Code (version 1.86.2).

Clicking install manually leads me to the marketplace which says:

Version 2024.0.0 for extension ms-python.debugpy has no support for targetPlatform alpine-arm64.

I could probably build a version of the extension manually but it would be nice to see official support. :)

Thanks for the issue support, we do not handle the installation process. Could you please create an issue in vscode-remote-release.

I can check the issue with the targetPlatform. Let me investigate in order to solve it.

Hi @paulacamargo25, what are some verification steps for this issue?

@topcss let us know if the issue is resolved for you now. You may have to use the pre-release extension along with the Insiders version of Code or insiders.vscode.dev to see it. Thanks!

I successfully debugged a Python file on an Ubuntu arm64 container using the Python Debugger and Dev Container extensions.

I'm still having this issue. Is this resolved? I'm using OpenVSCode Server and the latest release of the debugpy extension (3 weeks ago).
