sys.exit(0) does not break by default, but sys.exit() does #489
Description
Environment data
- debugpy version: 1.2.0
- OS and version: Win10 18363.1198
- Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.9.0
- Using VS Code or Visual Studio: vscode 1.51.1, Python extension v2020.11.371526539
Description
This code triggers breakpoint even if the "Raised Exceptions" option is turned off:
import sys
sys.exit()
This seems inconsistent. If I specify the exit code like sys.exit(0) explicitly then it ignores SystemExit as expected.

In the launch JSON, add this and see if it helps:

Well it makes
sys.exit(0)also breaks as well, which is even more undesirable. The expected behavior in default should be:sys.exit()doesn't break (but currently breaks)sys.exit(0)doesn't breaksys.exit(n)for nonzeronbreakskarthiknadig commentedon Dec 8, 2020
Ah! I see. Sorry, I misunderstood the issue.

It seems that the issue is that
SystemExit.codeisNonein this case (and not0).Properly handle sys.exit() as sys.exit(0). Fixes microsoft#489

The behavior of debugpy is not in compliance with the specifications. Because the underlying issue is broader, I raised a separate ticket on the matter, which explains the problem and suggests a solution that should not only fix the issue you are having, but other issues as well. Unforatunately, it was closed and moved to a discussion. Please contribute, if you wish to see it fixed.
