The debug type is not recognized. Make sure that you have a corresponding debug extension installed and that it is enabled.

A configuration drives VS Code's behavior during a debugging session. Configurations are defined in a
launch.jsonfile that's stored in a.vscodefolder in your workspace.
From the looks of your launch.json file, you should be good to go once the extension is installed. If it still can't recognize "type": "python", as a debug configuration, try reloading VS Code and/or making sure the extension is enabled for the current workspace:
