How to debug arcpy code in visual studio 2019

# This script clips all feature classes in a file geodatabase

import arcpy

# Create path variables
sourceWorkspace = r"C:\Users\Lesson2Practice\USA.gdb"
targetWorkspace = r"C:\Users\Lesson2Practice\Iowa.gdb"
clipfeature = r"C:\Users\Lesson2Practice\Iowa.gdb\Iowa"

# Get a list of all feature classes in the USA geodatabase
arcpy.env.workspace = sourceWorkspace
featureClassList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

try:
    # Loop through all USA faeture classes
    for featureClass in featureClassList:
        
        # Construct the output path
        outClipFeatureClass = f'{targetWorkspace}\Iowa{featureClass}'

        # Perform Clip
        arcpy.Clip_analysis(featureClass,clipfeature,outClipFeatureClass)
        arcpy.AddMessage(f'Wrote clipped file {outClipFeatureClass}.')
        print(f"Wrote clipped file {outClipFeatureClass}.")
except:
    # Report if there was an error
    arcpy.AddError("Could not clip feature classes")
    print("Could not clip feature classses")
    print(arcpy.GetMessages())

I have created a python script file that I am debugging it using visual studio 2019, But as soon as I try to debug, it gives me and Exception on another file (time.py - not sure where it came from as this time.py is not in my project or folder) stating "name 'm' is not defined" (I am attaching a video of the exception). Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Did anyone ever solve this?

I am trying to debug a project in VS using the arcgispro-py3 environment.  This error happens when you reference python's datetime.datetime class after the arcpy site package is loaded.

The project works when run in the python interactive window, but throws the same error when using Debug in VS.
