Hi there,

I've been having trouble debugging ROS2 nodes using vscode's "vscode-ros" extension. I was trying to attach to a already-running python node, but after going to the debugger section and running the "ROS: Attach", in the IDE the view just jumps to my launch.json file and nothing else happens. My setup:

ROS2 version: foxy
Ubuntu version: 20.04.5 LTS
VS Code version: 1.72.2
Extension versions:
ms-iot.vscode-ros@0.8.3
ms-python.python@2022.16.1
ms-python.vscode-pylance@2022.10.20

My launch.json file:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "ROS: Attach",
            "type": "ros",
            "request": "attach"
        },
        {
            "name": "Python: Current File",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false
        }
    ]
}

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT:

Just looked at the vs code developer tools console and when trying to run the debugging, I'm getting the following error:
