Error occurred while trying to debug Alexa Skill using ASK Toolkit in Python environment on VSCode

[eigoninaritai-naokichi]

• ASK Toolkit version: v2.14.2
• VSCode version: 1.80.0 (user setup)
• Python version: 3.11.2
• Operating System: Windows10 on Docker container

Description:

I am encountering an error while attempting to perform local debugging of an Alexa Skill using the ASK Toolkit (v2.14.2) in VSCode. Despite following the provided instructions and configuring the launch.json file accordingly, I am unable to initiate the debugging process successfully.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install the ASK Toolkit (v2.14.2) in VSCode.
2. Configure the launch.json file as follows:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Debug Alexa Skill (Python)",
      "type": "python",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${command:ask.debugAdapterPath}",
      "python": "${command:python.interpreterPath}",
      "args": [
        "--accessToken",
        "${command:ask.accessToken}",
        "--skillId",
        "${command:ask.skillIdFromWorkspace}",
        "--skillHandler",
        "lambda_handler",
        "--skillFilePath",
        "${workspaceFolder}/lambda/lambda_function.py",
        "--region",
        "NA"
      ],
      "console": "internalConsole",
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/lambda"
    }
  ]
}

Expected Behavior:

I expected the ASK Toolkit to successfully launch the local debugging session for the Alexa Skill, allowing me to effectively test and debug the skill code.

Actual Behavior:

However, upon attempting to initiate the debugging process, the following error message is displayed:

Command failed: "undefined" -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages())"
/bin/sh: 1: undefined: not found

Same issue here. The problem is that the command "command:ask.debugAdapterPath" is not found.
Looking at the Alexa Visual Studio module I see that the command file debugAdapterPath.ts is in the subdirectory local-debug.
I don't have experience with VSC modules development but this might be the issue.

My temporary solution was to directly link the debugger file.
In the launch.json file replace:
"program": "${command:ask.debugAdapterPath}"

with
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ask_sdk_local_debug/local_debugger_invoker.py",

Hope this can help
