Expected behaviour

Attempting to debug unit tests gives the name of the right command to use.

Actual behaviour

A command is named that does not appear in the list of Python commands

Steps to reproduce:

Try to start debugging the following launch configuration:

        {
            "name": "Debug Tests",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "test",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        }

The prompt screenshotted above appears.
