How to configure debugpy for editable install?

[ubaldot]

I am trying to develop a package that I have installed with pip install -e . .
The project structure is the following:

    mypackage
    ├── build
    │   └── mypackage-0.8.83.dist-info
    │       └── licenses
    ├── dist
    ├── docs
    ├── manual_tests
    │   └── manual_test.py
    ├── src
    │   └── mypackage
    └── tests

I want to use the manual_test.py script for debugging mypackage. Among others, in such a file I have import mypackage as mypkg but when I run the debugger I get a module not found error on that line. Other packages are correctly recognized.

The debugpy configuration follows:

    {
    "request": "launch",
    "type": "python",
    "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
    "program": "${file}",
    "stopOnEntry": true,
    "console": "integratedTerminal",
    "env": {
        "PYDEVD_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS": "1",
      },
    }

I read somewhere to set PYDEVD_RESOLVE_SYMLINKS=1 but it didn't help.

I discovered that the problem is wider... I am opening another thread.
