How to "run with arguments without debugging" ?

[allanchan339]

As far as I know, vscode provides a debugger with launch.json to configure different arguments to run in debugging mode.
I searched a couple of websites, where the tutorials tell a detailed guidelines for passing arguments in debugging. However, they tell nothing about running without debugging when passing arguments.
However, I would just need a run without debugging with arguments in vscode environment. How would I set up the launch.json to achieve this?

It's not very obvious from the docs, but you want https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging#_purpose and the debug-in-terminal option.

I opened microsoft/vscode-docs#5330 to have the docs be made more clear.

Sorry to bother you, but I have configured a new launch.json with the following code. It seems vscode always jumps to debugging mode with debugpy launcher. Is it expected behavior?

{
            "name": "Python: run with args",
            "type": "python",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "justMyCode": false,
            "purpose": "debug-in-terminal",
            "args": ["--experiment_name", 
                "ViT_baseline_DDP8", 
                "--model_name", 
                "ViT"]
        },

How are you launching it? And is this the only launch config with debug-in-terminal set?
