Unable to debug the PPO2 algorithm with VSCode

[davidhopper2003]

I used VSCode to debug the PPO2 algorithm. When debugging to line 58 of the file baselines/common/vec_env/subproc_vec_env.py:

observation_space, action_space = self.remotes[0].recv()

the program has no response and the debugging process cannot continue (As shown below).

My configuration file .vscode/launch.json is shown as follows:

{

                "--num_timesteps",

                "2e7",

                "--save_path",

            ],

        },

            "type": "python",

            "request": "launch",

            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/baselines/run.py",

            "console": "integratedTerminal", 

            "args": [

                "--alg",

                "ppo2",

                "--env",

                "PongNoFrameskip-v4",

                "--num_timesteps",

                "2e7",

                "--save_path",

                "~/models/pong_20M_ppo2"

            ],

        }

    ]

}

When I used the command line

python -m baselines.run --alg=ppo2 --env=PongNoFrameskip-v4 --num_timesteps=2e7 --save_path=~/models/pong_20M_ppo2

to run the program in a terminal, there is no problem.

Any helpful suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

The problem has been solved. See another issue I wrote: Unable to debug an OpenAI baselines pipeline task #1058.
