When running algorithms in Lean Docker from inside VS or VS Code I can successfully build or debug the BasicTemplateFrameworkAlgorithm - results via terminal or file. However, I do not know how to run any other algorithm. All methods I've hacked around with only run BasicTemplateFrameworkAlgorithm..
What is the process for running any algorithm and outputitng results?
Plus trying to run another algorithm elsewhere mostly resulted in a long list of missing modules that run fine in Web IDE - is how latest is LEAN:latest?
Thanks.

At Launcher/config.json, have you changed the defaults to
"algorithm-type-name": "**AlgorithmName**",
"algorithm-language": "Python",
"algorithm-location": "../../../Algorithm.Python/**AlgorithmName**.py",
"debugging": true,"debugging-method": "PTVSD",
(where **AlgorithmName** refers to the non-default file you wish to debug)? If you have, and are launching the Docker env by first running "Debug in Container" →"Attach to Python (Container)", please attach the error message recieved from VS code if it is unable to connect or from the debugger/terminal if it does connect and then fails.

Hi. I get this pop up error.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xkkt6wovf0f3y5u/Screenshot%202020-09-22%20221237.png?dl=0And the launch.json currently as:
{ "name": "Attach to Python (Container)", "type": "python", "request": "attach", "port": 5678, "pathMappings":[{ "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}", "remoteRoot": "/Lean/" }] },Aaron Janeiro Stone
It seems that the debugger is refused the ability to attach. While your launch.json seems ok, this error I've seen pop up if the changes I mentioned in my prior post are not made to your local version of
https://github.com/QuantConnect/Lean/blob/master/Launcher/config.json. Specifically, it should be of form (to launch BasicTemplateFrameworkAlgorithm.py as opposed to .cs):

Yesw, this is what my config.json looks like.

Interesting. Just to be sure, I would try copy+pasting the code I sent to replace the file contents and try runnign again (as this is the usual cause of your error message). Otherwise, could you provide your OS?
