Debug using launch.json doesn't include apostrophe in string

[banyula]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Trying to debug Python program when using option "Python Debugger: Debug using launch.json" there is an execution error (see screenshot)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Python 3.8 installed for all users in Windows (C:\Program Files\Python38\python.exe).
2. When debugging using "Python Debugger: Debug Python file" option, the debugger starts perfectly and without errors. Executing string is:

c:; cd 'c:\Temp\FR'; & 'c:\Program Files\Python38\python.exe' 'c:\Users\mmiller.vscode\extensions\ms-python.debugpy-2024.2.0-win32-x64\bundled\libs\debugpy\adapter/../..\debugpy\launcher64\bundled\libs\debugpy\adapter/../..\debugpy\launcher' '61954' '--' 'C:\Temp\FR\CallFlexResponse.py'

3. When trying to debug using "Python Debugger: Debug using launch.json" there are execution errors because strings to execute are not surrounded by single quotes, and file path contains spaces. Executing string is:

c:; cd 'c:\Temp\FR'; c:\Program Files\Python38\python.exe c:\Users\mmiller.vscode\extensions\ms-python.debugpy-2024.2.0-win32-x64\bundled\libs\debugpy\adapter/../..\debugpy\launcher 6198ndled\libs\debugpy\adapter/../..\debugpy\launcher 61984 -- C:\Temp\FR.vscode\launch.json myarg
