optional args

[HernandoR]

i wonder if its possible to have optional args, i.e. for a argparse like:

  parser.add_argument("--input_data", type=str, default="./output")
  parser.add_argument("--vis", action="store_true", help="vis prelabel result")

its possible to give or not give --vis in the launch file

		"configurations": [
			{
				"type": "debugpy",
				"request": "launch",
				"name": "Pdb: run.py",
				"stopOnEntry": false,
				"program": "${workspaceFolder}/run.py",
				"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
				"console": "integratedTerminal",
				"autoReload": {
					"enable": true
				},
				"args": [
					"--output_path",
					"${input:pipeline_output_path}/post_output",
					// "${input:extra_args}"
				],
			}
		],
		"compounds": [],
		"inputs": [
			{
				"type": "promptString",
				"id": "pipeline_output_path",
				"description": "Enter the path to the pipeline output",
				"default": "/mnt/auto-labeling/e2e/autolabel/pipline_output"
			},
			{
				"type": "pickString",
				"id": "extra_args",
				"description": "pick if input data is at128",
				"default": "",
				"options": [
					"",
					"--vis"
				]
			}
		]

Sorry but I'm not sure what you're asking. That input pattern works. And the debugger does pick up the args.

Yes, the debugpy does pick up the args, the question is, how can i NOT give a --vis arg without editing the launch profile?

I already tried "options": ["","--vis"], but it's resulting passing a "" arg to the python script, resulting in argparse error unknown arg .
