VSCode 1.60 was complaining about the "request": "test" method suggested by others.

But I did have to add a new section below my existing configuration to get "justMyCode": false to work.

Here is what worked for me:

{
    // 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": "Python: Current File",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "args": [
                "blah",
                "whatever"
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "Python: Debug Unit Tests",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "purpose": ["debug-test"],
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false,
        }
    ]
}

The purpose addition appears to be important.

I found the correct approach documented here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/testing#_debug-tests

Hope this helps!
