I need to enable debugging in vscode to debug a python file, but due to the specific nature of my .py file, I need to do this not from the project directory, but from a directory one level above my project directory. And since the file I need to run uses static imports, I need to run the file as a module, meaning that when debugging, vscode uses the -m parameter and the module name, which looks like this:
project_name_folder.folder1.main

I haven't found a working way to do this yet. I tried creating my own launch.json file inside the .vscode directory with the following contents:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Python: Debug Module",
            "type": "debugpy",
            "request": "launch",
            "module": "project_folder.folder1.main",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/..", 
            "console": "integratedTerminal"
        }
    ]
}

But this configuration produces an error:

`
