When trying to start a Debug session in vscode, it throws an error about not finding a specified task. I've already tried the solutions of other SO questions like this but without success.
launch.json:
{ // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes. // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes. // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387 "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { ... }, { "name": "MSEventHubs_Audit", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/audit-events.py", "console": "integratedTerminal", "args": [ "config/config.ini", ], "envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env", "env": {"PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceRoot}"}, "justMyCode": false, "preLaunchTask": { "task": "audit_tunnel" } }, { ... }, ] } tasks.json:

The proof my task is known by vscode is when the pop-up message appears
I click 'Configure Task', the 'audit_tunnel' appears as an option to edit.
What am I missing?
"command": "", "args": [],from the top of your tasks.json - that looks like the previous syntax. See code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/tasks#_migrating-to-tasks-200. Secondly, if you just runaudit_tunnelby itself, can it be found? You could just put an echo in there to make it easy.
