Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

When I click on the "Debug Python File" button, the arguments in launch.json is used as expectd, however not used when I click on the "Run Python File" button.

Steps to reproduce:

1. add "purpose" and "args" to launch.json as below

        {
            "name": "Python: test",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": true,
            "purpose": [
                "debug-in-terminal"
            ],
            "args": [
                "/foo/bar/abc.txt"
            ]
        },

2. create a python file

import sys
print(sys.argv[1])

3. click the "Run Python File" button in the top right of the window

2. Arguments in launch.json not being used #20396 and Extension not using launch.json config when you press the UI button "Debug Python File" #18199 fixed similiar problem that appeared when clicking "Debug Python File".
3. this discussion thread How to run with parameters？ #20380 describes the exact same problem
