Dear community,
I'm trying to setup VS Code as outlined in the Documentation here.

I have the Cinema 4D Connector extension installed, and the script is successfully executed when i click on Debug in Cinema 4D, but it seems like my breakpoints are disregarded.

I then added the launch.json with the code from the Documentation link above to my workspace, but the behavior is the same.

Please see the video for clarification:

Reproduction

To recreate please follow these steps:

1. In Cinema 4D:
   • Open the Script Manager.
   • Save a simple script (see below for the exact script I used)
   • Start Code Exchanger
2. Open the scripts folder in VS Code:
   • Connect Cinema 4D Connector to the running C4D instance
3. Back in Cinema 4D:
   • Click Send to IDE in the Script Manager
4. Back in VS Code:
   • In the now open script, set two breakpoints (line 9 and 10)
   • Click Debug in Cinema 4D

EXPECTED: I would like the script to break first in line 9 and then in line 10 to be able to inspect the values of greeting and target in the Run and Debug panel.
ACTUAL: The script runs completely and I don't see any information on the state of the mentioned variables. I get a notification saying:

We noticed you are attaching to ptvsd (Python debugger), which was deprecated on May 1st, 2020. Use debugpy instead.

5. Still in VS Code:
   • Disconnect the debugger.
   • Go to the Run and Debug panel
   • Create a launch.json file
   • Replace the contents of the launch.json file with the code from the Documentation and save the file.
   • Go back to the saved script and try running Debug in Cinema 4D again.

RESULT: Same as after step 4.

System

I'm on macOS Tahoe (Version 26.2)
Cinema 4D 2026.1.2 (Build 2026_1_2_e960bfd939c3_2264416005) OSX
Visual Studio Code Version: 1.108.2 (Universal)
Cinema 4D Connector Version 1.2.2

Test Code

import c4d

doc: c4d.documents.BaseDocument  # The currently active document.
op: c4d.BaseObject | None  # The primary selected object in `doc`. Can be `None`.

def main() -> None:
    """Called by Cinema 4D when the script is being executed.
    """
    greeting = 'Hello'
    target = 'Cinema4D'

    print(f'{greeting}, {target}!')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I'm really sorry if i overlooked anything obvious, or am missing the point altogether. Either way, any help/pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all very much in advance for your time and consideration.
Best,
Julius
