If I try to debug with the justMyCode setting set to false, I get WinError 2

[sagar-aps-MaMaTa]

Type: Bug

I use multiple environments located at C:\Users\apshankar\Documents\Python_Virtual_envs
If in my launch.json, I put 'justMyCode' = false, then I get an error in the Call Stack pane which says:
[WinError2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\Users\apshankar\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages'

I tried adding the interpreterPath to the launch json but to no avail.

Here is my launch.json

Hi! Is you set "python.useEnvironmentsExtension" to false in your user settings does this make the problem go away?
