Allow "Run Python File in Terminal" to accept script arguments #19810
Description
We already have the setting "python.terminal.launchArgs", which pass arguments to the python interpreter.
This simple request is to allow arguments to be passed to the python file (script) that is running.
Examples (existing):
-
If we configure:
"python.terminal.launchArgs": ["-i"]and use the command "Run Python File in Terminal"
it will launch:python -i script.py -
If we configure:
"python.terminal.launchArgs": ["-m", "IPython", "-i" ]and use the command "Run Python File in Terminal"
it will launch:python -m IPython -i script.py
Example (requested):
To have a different setting, like, for instance, "python.terminal.scriptArgs" which would pass the arguments to the script when using the command "Run Python File in Terminal", not to the interpreter, i.e.:
"python.terminal.scriptArgs": ["arg1", "arg2"] would make the command launch python script.py arg1 arg2

Seems to me that is part of the general issue #11812 and should be solved along with that. You can leave this idea there, and we'll consider it while solving #11812 regardless of whether this issue gets closed.
