Python debugging not working

I can't reproduce this (cmd is properly defined for me).

It seems strange that it's not defined for you as it should be in the PATH.

Here, by doing where cmd, it says it's defined at:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Can you double check if it's there for you and whether C:\Windows\System32 is in your PATH environment variable?

here is the path

It seems it's not really there... can you try adding c:\windows\system32 (then restarting VSCode) and see if it works?

still getting the same error

E:> cmd /C "c:\Users\hp\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python.exe c:\Users\hp.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2020.12.424452561\pythonFiles\lib\python\debugpy\launcher 51076 -- e:\mytest.py "
'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I think you still have an old version of the path somehow...

Can you write in the terminal:

set PATH=%PATH%;c:\windows\system32

and then try to run the debugger again (which should use that same terminal)...

If it still doesn't, work, please provide the output of running the following in that terminal:

where cmd
dir c:\windows\system32
echo %PATH%

the problem is i set the wrong path C:\Windows\System\32 instead of C:\Windows\System32, now its working thanks
