Error running Remote debugging with "ptvsd"

Question

I've started remote debugging with visual studio code but I cant get it to work. Both the remote and the local development PC both running version 4.1.3 of ptvsd. The remote machine has the script :

import ptvsd
ptvsd.enable_attach()

#Enable the below line of code only if you want the application to wait untill the debugger has att$
#ptvsd.wait_for_attach()

import random


guesses_made = 0
name = input('Hello! What is your name?\n')
number = random.randint(1, 20)
print('Well, {0}, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.'.format(name))

while guesses_made < 6:
    guess = int(input('Take a guess: '))
    guesses_made += 1
    if guess < number:
        print('Your guess is too low.')
    if guess > number:
        print('Your guess is too high.')
    if guess == number:
        break
if guess == number:
    print('Good job, {0}! You guessed my number in {1} guesses!'.format(name, guesses_made))
else:
    print('Nope. The number I was thinking of was {0}'.format(number))

The local computer is :

import ptvsd
ptvsd.enable_attach(address = ('192.34.98.197',3000))

#Enable the below line of code only if you want the application to wait untill the debugger has attached to it
#ptvsd.wait_for_attach()

import random

guesses_made = 0
name = input('Hello! What is your name?\n')
number = random.randint(1, 20)
print('Well, {0}, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.'.format(name))

while guesses_made < 6:
    guess = int(input('Take a guess: '))
    guesses_made += 1
    if guess < number:
        print('Your guess is too low.')
    if guess > number:
        print('Your guess is too high.')
    if guess == number:
        break
if guess == number:
    print('Good job, {0}! You guessed my number in {1} guesses!'.format(name, guesses_made))
else:
    print('Nope. The number I was thinking of was {0}'.format(number))

I've added the entries into launch.json :

{
    "name": "Attach (Remote Debug)",
    "type": "python",
    "request": "attach",
    "localRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
    "remoteRoot": "/home/pi/testdebug/",
    "port": 3000,
    "secret": "my_secret",
    "host":"localhost"
},

This is the error i receive:

If anyone has any ideas how to correct this please let me know.

Your launch.json is out-of-date as it's configured for the old debugger. Please see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging#_remote-debugging for the latest instructions (e.g. localRoot and remoteRoote should be under pathMappings).

Brilliant a step closer, im now getting the local and remote computer to talk to each other. im getting the following message twice : pydev debugger: warning: trying to add breakpoint to file that does not exist: /home/pi/testdebug/C:/IOT/Github/RaspberryPi/test_remote_debug/test_remote_debug.py (will have no effect). Any ideas why?

p.s. I've created another questions at as its a different question: stackoverflow.com/questions/52760636/…

Your paths don't look set up appropriately for localRoot and remoteRoot. If you look at /home/pi/testdebug/C:/IOT/Github/RaspberryPi/test_remote_debug/test_remote_debug.py you will notice that you seem to have some UNIX path prepended to a Windows path.
