codelldb: Error launching terminal agent on Windows

Which OS: Windows Which VSCode version: 1.38.1 Which extension version: 1.3.0 Which adapter type: native Which LLDB version: lldb version 8.0.1

attempt to debug a standard cargo binary on windows with powershell as the terminal.

PS C:\Users\tyler\Code\guessing_game> & '

running the command myself properly and I get, as the window of opportunity passed evidenced by the debug console error below.

Error: Os { code: 10061, kind: ConnectionRefused, message: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." }

and in the Debug Console I get

Failed to redirect stdio to a terminal. (Internal debugger error: Terminal agent did not respond within the allotted time.)
Debuggee output will appear here.```

Hi… There seems to be a resurgence of this issue:

Fixed in 1.4.1 actually.

To get rid of error messages when using PowerShell as a terminal shell in VSCode, you can set "lldb.terminalPromptClear" : null in user/workspace settings. Of course, this disables protection from junk input in the terminal (see above). Tradeoffs…

I had the same problem. In launch.json, change the "terminal":"integrated" to "terminal":"external". If it correctly works, add "terminal.integrated.shell.windows":"C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe" to settings.json. In my case it worked fine in “integrated” after adding in settings.json.
