How can I disable/hide the grouping of variables in vscode-python

Question

Recently the ms-python extension (v2020.5.86806) for vscode implements grouping of variables in the debug console/variable explorer.

They appear as:

<object>
  > special variables
  > function variables

Is there a way to disable this behavior?

There's no single flag to revert to old behavior, but you can fine-tune it on a per-group basis in your launch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": ...,
            "module": ...,
            ...
            "variablePresentation": {
                "all": "inline",
                "class": "group",
                "function": "hide",
                "protected": ...,
                "special": ...
            }
        }
    ]
}

"all" applies to all groups, and sets the default that can be overridden as needed; other group names are self-explanatory. For values, "group" is the default behavior, "hide" removes those variables entirely, and "inline" places them without grouping.

Note that the VSCode JSON schema hasn't been updated to reflect this yet, so you'll get squiggles when editing. It'll still work, though.

You might draw some attention to launch.json as people might try to configure this in settings.json.

Where exactly in the launch.json this goes? I added it to configurations, and it says Property variablePresentation is not allowed..

Martijn Pieters Over a year ago

@Ashark: in the top level, so next to version and configurations, etc.

@Ashark it also says Property variablePresentation is not allowed for me but just do it anyway. It works

@Ashark top level did not work for me, I had to put it in the "configurations" list, at the same level as "name" and "module" as shown in the screenshot answered by @pavel-minaev
