I have the same issue when debugging cpp in macOS Catalina. I use clang++, lldb in tasks.json and launch.json

This is not only related to node projects. I’ve got the same problem when trying to debug compiled C programs.

I’m running macOS Catalina 10.15.1 and vscode 1.40.0.

I get the same result as @BryanHunt when checking the directories.

Since we have a new debugger, please let us know if you’re still running into this problem, and if so please open an issue on that repo.

@popmonkey please file an issue against the Python extension. This bug is for node.js only.

have you already fix this bug?

There is a workaround in the cpptools issue. You can use extension CodeLLDB for CPP debugging, this can work for me.
