Logs

No relevant logs appear

Please could you try this with the experimental debugger.
Just change the type setting from python to pythonExperimental in your launch.json

Well changing to pythonExperimental gives me some feedbacks when i select Copy Value on any var:

DEBUG CONSOLE

pydev debugger: New process is launching (breakpoints won't work in the new process).
pydev debugger: To debug that process please enable 'Attach to subprocess automatically while debugging?' option in the debugger settings.

(i cannot find that option to enable)

Python Debug Console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/gn/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-python.python-2018.3.1/pythonFiles/experimental/ptvsd/ptvsd/wrapper.py", line 759, in done
    fut.result()
  File "/home/gn/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-python.python-2018.3.1/pythonFiles/experimental/ptvsd/ptvsd/futures.py", line 44, in result

  File "/home/gn/.vscode-insiders/extensions/ms-python.python-2018.3.1/pythonFiles/experimental/ptvsd/ptvsd/wrapper.py", line 1216, in on_evaluate
    expr = args['expression'].replace('\t', ' ')
KeyError: 'expression'

Still debug console stop working after that errors.

print()
Please start a debug session to evaluate

When i select Copy as Expression i have i lot of errors in developer console as you can see in the attached file.
console_copyasexpr.log

Add to Watch still do nothing.

I can verify it doesn't work on Windows 10, but that's because the menu option is greyed out. Either way there's definitely an issue.

The same issue with PHP Xdebug.
Ubuntu 16.04

Same thing with Golang and the delve debugger, it's all greyed-out

Same for PHP with xdebug on macos 10.12.6

Up stream issue microsoft/ptvsd#559

This has been resolved.

Add news entry for resolution of #1398 (#2328)
