code-server: Debugger does not start on C++, C#, Python, Go, PHP code

It’s not related to C++. I’m having the exact same issue with C#.

And, indeed, this is the commit that fixed it in codespaces: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/63504d9cfa211e8e09660964d6b0d8280d6f9d12

It doesn’t seem that has been applied here yet.

I noticed whenever I right click in my c++ file and select “build and debug active file” it works, it also seems to work once after refreshing the page but when I immediately try and start the debugger it fails again, only after each refresh does it work one time again. Hope this contributes something at least

Doesn’t work also for me for a Python or a Go app. The solution is to use 3.11.0

For me, the debugging works on the first time i reload the window. After that, i cant start the debugger. It then asks me to select an environment and then like discussed here just opens the launch.json file. It even executes my Build-Task from tasks.json correctly, and then debugs it properly with breakpoints etc. The project is written in C.

Just saw that frank8922 wrote that too. Exactly the same behaviour for me.

Yes,it works.thanks for your attention and hard works.

@jsjoeio @cleardusk @globalww,

I believe this may be resolved in upstream’s version 1.60.2, which we’re targeting in next week’s release schedule. Thank you for your patience!

@jsjoeio Debugger does not start on Python, too.

Let’s try

1. install gcc and cmake;
2. Install code-server like this:

wget https://code-server.dev/install.sh && \
    sh install.sh --version 3.12.0 --method=standalone && \
    rm install.sh &&
wget https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases/download/1.6.0/cpptools-linux.vsix && \
    /home/devel/.local/bin/code-server --install-extension cpptools-linux.vsix && \
    /home/devel/.local/bin/code-server --install-extension twxs.cmake && \
    /home/devel/.local/bin/code-server --install-extension ms-vscode.cmake-tools && \
    /home/devel/.local/bin/code-server --install-extension ms-python.python && \
    /home/devel/.local/bin/code-server --install-extension mhutchie.git-graph && \
    /home/devel/.local/bin/code-server --install-extension christian-kohler.path-intellisense

1. Create directory with 2 files: CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(code_server_issues_4221)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
add_executable(code_server_issues_4221 code_server_issues_4221.cpp)

and code_server_issues_4221.cpp:

#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    if (argc == 2) {
        std::cout << "jsjoeio happy\n";
    } else {
        std::cout << "senyai sad\n";
    }
    return 0;
}

1. Press F1 -> “CMake: Configure”
2. Press F5, launch.json will be created
3. Press F5, debugging will not start

Similar issue here. I have a c++ configuration in launch.json and debugging worked before. It looks like vscode tries to debug file that is currently edited (makes no sense). When launch.json is opened and I try to start c++ debugging by selecting my configuration, I see this message:

@lishunan246 I haven’t checked but you’re welcome to and then let us know!

I confirm that the debugger works in v4.1.0.

Same behavior for golang debugging as well

Same behavior for java debugging as well, at least any entry of type “attach” in launch.json is ignored and debugger wants to use the current open file.
