Actual behavior

When debugging from outside of the root folder. imports from the root folder no longer work.
Selecting the text, and doing shift+Enter to execute within a python console work as expected ("python.execSelectionInTerminal")

Expected behavior

I should be able to import package from inside my root folder, even if I start debugging from files in a subdirectory of my root folder.

This behavior was working beofre updating the current version of vscode and python

Steps to reproduce:

1. clone https://github.com/AlexandreOuellet/vscode-import-bug and open the folder in vscode
2. open the file tests/test_some_test.py
3. Debug this file (through F5)

Not sure if relevent, but I also have these user settings :

    "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": false,
    "[python]": {
    },

and my default shell is powershell

I also confirm that this bug also happens with a barebone install of vscode insider :

I just create a simple python project, with last update version of visual studio code, using also last version of the plugin [2018.10.1 (09 Nov 2018)], and getting this error:

Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'functions'

And each folder I have the __init__.py file

functions
    utils
        logger.py
        __init__.py
    __init__.py
    program.py

program.py

from functions.utils.logger import logger
logger.info('Simple Test')

logger.py

import logging
FORMAT = '[%(asctime)s] [%(levelname)s] >>> %(message)s'
logging.basicConfig( format=FORMAT )
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
