In pyCharm we have this option where we can configure Run button to start the server by adding the same to the script path.

I wanted to do the same in visual studio code, so that whenever I click Run, my django server gets started.

You need to create a launch.json in the folder .vscode which sits in the same folder as your manage.py.

    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Django",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}\\manage.py",
            "args": [
                "runserver",
            ],
            "django": true
        },
    ]
}

You can create one by clicking run & debug and then at top menu green triangle click add configuration, python, Django

  1. In vscode make sure your in the same folder as manage.py
  2. From the menu bar at top of vscode select TERMINAL -> NEW TERMINAL. (will launch a terminal window).
  3. In the terminal window type: python manage.py runserver
  4. Remember to keep the window open and minimized.
