Visual Studio Code: How debug Python script with arguments

I'm using Visual Studio Code in order to debug a Python script.

Following this guide, I set up the argument in the launch.json file:

But when I press on Debug, it says that my argument is not recognized and Visual Studio Code says:

error: unrecognized arguments

As Visual Studio Code is using PowerShell, let's execute the same file with the same argument:

So: the same file, same path, and same argument. In the terminal it is working, but not in Visual Studio Code.

Where am I wrong?

I think the --City and Auckland are used as a single argument. Maybe try separating them like so...

Single argument

    "args": ["--city","Auckland"]

Multiple arguments and multiple values

Such as:

--key1 value1 value2 --key2 value3 value4

Just put them into the args list one by one in sequence:

"args": ["--key1", "value1", "value2", "--key2", "value3", "value4"]

I also noticed that if you run the script by clicking on the debug button that looks like this , then the arguments are not passed. However, using Run -> Start Debugging (or its shortcut F5) passed the arguments successfully.
