Trouble removing breakpoint during debug session

From @gpassero on April 1, 2017 14:26

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.10.2 Python Extension version: 0.6.0 Python Version: 3.5 OS and version: Windows 10

Actual behavior

Debugger stops on breakpoints I have removed/disabled.

Expected behavior

Debugger doesn’t stop on removed breakpoints.

Steps to reproduce:

• Put a breakpoint on the code (preferably inside a for loop)
• Start debugging and wait until the runner stops on the breakpoint
• Remove the breakpoints
• Continue the debugger

The problem also happens on breakpoints I add during a debugging session.

Settings

Your launch.json (if dealing with debugger issues):

        {
            "name": "Python",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "stopOnEntry": false,
            "pythonPath": "${config.python.pythonPath}",
            "program": "${file}",
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "env": null,
            "envFile": "${workspaceRoot}/.env",
            "debugOptions": [
                "WaitOnAbnormalExit",
                "WaitOnNormalExit",
                "RedirectOutput",
                "BreakOnSystemExitZero"
            ]
        },

Your settings.json:

{
    "editor.rulers": [120],
    "python.linting.pylintArgs": [
        "--max-line-length=120"
    ],
    "editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn",
    "editor.wordWrapColumn": 120,
    "window.zoomLevel": 0,
    "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true,
    "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
    ],
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Monokai",
    "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
    "window.menuBarVisibility": "default",
    "editor.renderControlCharacters": false,
    "files.autoSave": "afterDelay"
}

@DonJayamanne Small comment to inform you that I cannot reproduce the problem on my side either with Python regular or experimental debugger. Breakpoints can now be correctly removed on both Windows and Linux, making the debugging experience much better.

Thanks for the development efforts put on the support of Python language for this great cross-platform open source editor. This is really appreciated.

Best regards

@DonJayamanne I tested both with “python” and “pythonExperimental” types and the problem didn’t happen. I used a simple script in my test, hope the problem won’t happen with more complex code. Thanks for the help!
