Running "source" command before the script in the debug configuration
Hi,
In the configuration page, I can enter python script and options. For the source command, I see "Before launch: Activate tool window" and I select "Run external tool". However, when I put
source in front of the "Program" and file.rc in front of the "Arguments", I get the error that "source program is not recognized".Problem is that
source command is a shell internal and it is not a program like ls or grep. I didn't find information on how to use source command. Please see the pictures below:


How can I fix that?
Any idea?

Hmm, I don't think sourcing like that would work. Maybe use other methods, like python-dotenv (https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/) for example?
Or you can add environment variables directly to your run/debug configuration.
