When I try to use an external terminal in my Python run configuration on VS Code (I need sudo to run my script), the qterminal/x-terminal-emulator window flashes for a moment then instantly disappears. This problem does not occur when I set VS Code to use gnome-terminal instead. Is there a fix for this?
Here’s my VS Code run configuration:
{

"configurations": [
{
"name": "Python: Current File",
"type": "python",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${file}",
"console": "externalTerminal",
"redirectOutput": true,
"sudo" : true,
"justMyCode" : false
}
]
}
