Code completion issues in VS Code

Hi,

I’ve recently noticed that when writing Isaac Sim standalone scripts in VS Code, there is no code completion or IntelliSense support for the Isaac Sim API anymore.

This makes development quite frustrating, because I have to manually look up each API in the official documentation instead of getting suggestions and parameter hints in the editor.

I’m wondering:

  • Is this an expected change in recent Isaac Sim versions?

  • Could it be something wrong with my VS Code / Python environment configuration?

  • Is there a recommended setup to restore full code completion for Isaac Sim APIs in standalone scripts?

  • I have already installed the packages using pip, and they are now listed under the pip list command.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated — I really miss the productivity boost from working with proper IntelliSense.

Thanks!

Following are setting from my computer!

Isaac Sim Version

4.5.0

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04

I am also confused about how to debug in VS Code using the Isaac Sim VS Code Edition?
Or is there other method to debug python code in VS Code?
