Can't debug Django applications any longer

Issue Type: Bug

Hi Team, I am no longer able to debug my Django applications in VSCode. I tried both existing configuration and new experimental configurations and none of them really work. When I use normal config (given below), django server starts but all breakpoints converts to: ‘Unverified breakpoint’ and code never stops on the set breakpoints.

{
            "name": "Django",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/manage.py",
            "args": [
                "runserver",
                "--noreload",
                "--nothreading"
            ],
            "debugOptions": [
                "RedirectOutput",
                "Django"
            ]
        }

With experimental config, django server never starts and all i get in console is this message:

pydev debugger: starting pydev debugger: New process is launching (breakpoints won’t work in the new process). pydev debugger: To debug that process please enable ‘Attach to subprocess automatically while debugging?’ option in the debugger settings.

Experimental config:

{
            "name": "Django Experimental",
            "type": "pythonExperimental",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/manage.py",
            "args": [
                "runserver",
                "--noreload",
                "--nothreading",
            ],
            "django": true,
        }

Hey Don,

A small update, I just tried debugging same repository with Pycharm CE and it worked seemlessly.

Based on the info provided it works with the experimental debugger. Please ignore the warning message you get at the start. It should work.
