Ansible VSCode Debugging

1. VSCode version 1.23.1
2. Create launch.json for python attach
3. Make sure ptvsd version is 3.0.0 pip install ptvsd==3.0.0

{
    "name": "Python: Attach",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "attach",
    "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
    "remoteRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
    "port": 3000,
    "secret": "ansible",
    "host": "127.0.0.1"
}

Setting a breakpoint in ansible module

import ptvsd
ptvsd.enable_attach(secret="ansible", address = ('127.0.0.1', 3000))
ptvsd.wait_for_attach()
ptvsd.break_into_debugger()

Dot't forget to set ansible remote interpreter path (incase of localhost)

ansible all -i 'localhost,' -u username -c local -m homebrew -a "package=vim" -e "ansible_python_interpreter=/path/to/interpreter"

For me this doesn't work as debugger is telling me it cant enter zip file. How you worked around this?
