![]() Based on my report on discord when chatting with Anthony and Remco: https://discord.com/channels/869392257814519848/1375129714645012530 Root Cause: Zed was incorrectly trying to execute a directory path instead of properly invoking the debugpy module when debugpy was installed via package managers (pip, conda, etc.) rather than downloaded from GitHub releases. Solution: - Automatic Detection: Zed now automatically detects whether debugpy is installed via pip/conda or downloaded from GitHub - Correct Invocation: For pip-installed debugpy, Zed now uses python -m debugpy.adapter instead of trying to execute file paths - Added a `installed_in_venv` flag to differentiate the setup properly - Backward Compatibility: GitHub-downloaded debugpy releases continue to work as before - Enhanced Logging: Added logging to show which debugpy installation method is being used (I had to verify it somehow) I verified with the following setups (can be confirmed with the debug logs): - `conda` with installed debugpy, went to installed instance - `uv` with installed debugpy, went to installed instance - `uv` without installed debugpy, went to github releases - Homebrew global python install, went to github releases Release Notes: - Fix issue where debugpy from different environments won't load as intended |

Licensing
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about
to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specified
error for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = false
under[package]
in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirements
for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theaccepted
array inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
. - Is
cargo-about
unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
, as specified in the cargo-about book.
