title: vscode not starting debugger (flask)
body: <p>This is new behavior, but I don't know what I changed (if anything), although I'm not sure what the Date below indicates as I didn't take any action to update vscode.</p>
  <p>I've been using vscode just fine to debug my flask applications for over a year. Today when I tried to start a new debug session, nothing happens. This means there's no flask process set in the Run and Debug window, and no Python debug terminal started.</p>
  <p>The Date might be consistent with when things stopped working for me, though, as I was trying to start debugging with a different repo than I'd been working with.</p>
  <p>UPDATE: downgrade to 1.68.1 did not resolve the problem.</p>

  <p>I looked at <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Terminal-Issues#creating-great-terminal-issues" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Terminal-Issues#creating-great-terminal-issues</a> and started tracing using <code>code --log trace</code>. I think this is the relevant trace logs.</p>

  <p>I've confirmed <code>tasks.json</code> doesn't exist in either folder, but checking crashplan (my backup system) I don't think this has existed, at least not recently.</p>
  <p>I hope someone has some ideas, as I'm stymied.</p>
