Note: This used to work

• Could be related to Custom arguments passed are no longer being passed to python file being debugged #302 and Debugging of modules using -m is broken in VSC #299

• Use VSC to debug a program

• Add custom arguments in launch.json by adding items into the args (array) property

• Debug a python file with the following contents:

import sys
print(sys.argv)

• With the per-release version of PTVSD, custom args are passed through to the python file,

• With the master branch of PTVSD, none of the args are passed to the python file

• launch.json
  You could either pip install PTVSD into your python interpreter or just add the path to PYTHONPATH as shown below:

        {
            "name": "Run file",
            "type": "pythonExperimental",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "args": [ "one", "two", "three" ],
            "env": {
                "PYTHONPATH": "<Path to PTVSD>"
            }
        },
