Disable "Failed to continue: Check debug console" error message in vscode - go

How do I get rid of this annoying message every time there's an error in my code?

I found the solution to this problem:
The error message isn't actually caused by VScode, it's caused by the golang extension.
To disable it you have to go to the extension manager and click the little gear next to the installed extension and revert it to a previous version from the context menu. The version I reverted to is from about a year ago.
If you don't see the little gear icon you need to have the extension installed first.

Add your main.go file path to "program" attribute located in launch.json file.

"request": "launch",
"mode": "auto",
"program": "E:/GoProjects/main.go",
"env": {},

}
]
}

Check the Go Lang extension settings and turn off the "Build On Save" feature.

How do I launch/debug a project in an external console?

I am trying to debug a Go project in VSCode. I am able to debug it, but the application is running in the internal VSCode terminal. I need the application to run in an external console instead. For instance I want it to run in cmd.exe.
// .vscode/launch.json
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Launch Package",
"type": "go",
"request": "launch",
"mode": "auto",
"program": "${fileDirname}"
}
]
}
How can I make the debug session open a external console and run it there, rather than in the internal console of VSCode?
The developers for the Go VSCode extension are in the process of adding a launch property for this. See: https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/issues/124#issuecomment-1006122877

Cannot debug Rust in Visual Studio Code?

I am trying to debug a Rust program in VS Code, but I get an error:
After clicking OK, VS Code opens "settings.json":
I have these extensions installed:
My program is a simple "hello world" app.
Unfortunately VS Code can't debug Rust out of the box :( But no need to worry, just few steps of configuration will do the work :)
Steps
Install C/C++ extension if you are on windows and CodeLLDB if on OS X/Linux
Click Debug -> Add Configuration, a launch.json file should open, you need to change the program name here manually
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "(Windows) Launch",
"type": "cppvsdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/target/debug/foo.exe",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": true
},
{
"name": "(OSX) Launch",
"type": "lldb",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/target/debug/foo",
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
}
]
}
Make sure Allow setting breakpoints in any file is checkend under File -> Preferences -> Settings

From your screenshots, you're on Windows, so here's how to proceed. This assumes you already took care of the basics:
VsCode has the recommended rust-analyzer extension installed.
Your project folder was initialized with cargo init. (Your project's folder name must be the same as the name of your package in Cargo.toml.)
You can cargo run from within your project directory and it works.
As indicated by various locations on the 'Net, you need to install another VsCode extension to make it so you can debug. Since you're on Windows, you want to use the MS C++ DevTools extension for VsCode, instead of the CodeLLDB one.
Next, you need a "launch" configuration setup. Select VsCode's Run >>> Add Configuration... menu item. Choose the C/C++: (Windows) launch option in the drop-down. You'll now have a launch.json file with a single configuration object.
You'll need to change the program property to "${workspaceFolder}/target/debug/${workspaceFolderBasename}.exe"; this depends on your package name being the same as the project folder's name. (I also changed the cwd property to "${workspaceFolder}", though I'm not sure it matters.) To be clearer, here's the configuration I have presently in my launch.json file (the preLaunchTask property is for later):
{
"name": "(Windows) Launch",
"type": "cppvsdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/target/debug/${workspaceFolderBasename}.exe",
"preLaunchTask": "rust: cargo build",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": false,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"console": "externalTerminal"
}
At this point, as long as you've already built your project at least once, you can hit F5 and debug.
If you want F5 to also save your changes and rebuild your project before debugging, then you also have to add a build task and configure it to run before debugging starts.
To do that, add the build task by opening the Show All Commands box (either F1 or Ctrl+Shift+p) and choosing Tasks: Configure Task. Select rust: cargo build. It'll create a tasks.json file next to your launch.json; the defaults are all you need. My file looks like this:
{
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cargo",
"command": "build",
"problemMatcher": [
"$rustc"
],
"group": "build",
"label": "rust: cargo build"
}
]
}
Then, to hook everything up, you just need to manually add the preLaunchTask property to your launch configuration with a value equal to the label in your task. E.g. "preLaunchTask": "rust: cargo build",, like what I have in my example launch.json up above.
At this point, whenever you press F5, VsCode will save your work, rebuild your project, then start debugging it.
Visual Studio Code is a general editor, but it can be configured to debug rust code.
Step 1.
Assuming that Visual Code, rust and cargo are installed, the first step is to enable the required extensions:
rust-analyzer
CodeLLDB
These only need to be installed one.
Step 2
The second step is to create the rust code. I have a folder called Rust, in which I keep the rust code. Changing to that folder, I use cargo new hello_world to create a new rust project.
Step 3
The third step is to change the folder for the project. There are two plausible options, but only one of them will work.
I changed to my Rust folder, and then I can edit the source code by following ``hello_world - src`.
To debug the code, it is necessary to create a launch.json file, using Run - Add configuration... However, the file isn't correct, with <your program> where the correct name should be. This is the wrong approach.
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "lldb",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/<your program>",
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
}
]
}
The documentation is a bid thin at this point. The correct approach is to pick a different folder, the top level of the project hello_world. The Cargo.toml file is available.
Now, when Run - Add configuration... is used, and the option of LLDB is selected -
the Cargo.toml file can be picked up -
and then the Cargo.toml file is used to correctly build the launch.json file -
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "lldb",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug executable 'hello_world'",
"cargo": {
"args": [
"build",
"--bin=hello_world",
"--package=hello_world"
],
"filter": {
"name": "hello_world",
"kind": "bin"
}
},
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
{
"type": "lldb",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug unit tests in executable 'hello_world'",
"cargo": {
"args": [
"test",
"--no-run",
"--bin=hello_world",
"--package=hello_world"
],
"filter": {
"name": "hello_world",
"kind": "bin"
}
},
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
}
]
}
Now, both Run - Start debugging and Run - Run without Debugging both work properly.

Debug console doesnt show any output

Im starting a python basic course and trying to run some initial code with Vscode. After watching the course videos i notice that im not seeing any output under the DEBUG CONSOLE. I do get an output under the TERMINAL section.
Also, i notice that the debug icon is different compared to the one in the videos (mine has a play arrow).
Am i missing something?
My python
C:\Users\andres>py --version
Python 3.8.3
my current launch.json is
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.

"request": "launch",
"program": "${file}",
"cwd": "",

}
thanks
thanks to #tHeSiD for the initial advise. for the winerror123, i deleted and recreated the json file

Finding gitlab.com/company/project/.vscode latest

I'm trying to debug a go project with vscode, when I run debug with those settings:
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Launch",
"type": "go",
"request": "launch",
"mode": "auto",
"program": "${fileDirname}",
"envFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env.local",
"args": [],
}
]
}
I get:
go: finding gitlab.com/company/project/.vscode latest
can't load package: package gitlab.com/company/project/.vscode: unknown import path "gitlab.com/company/project/.vscode": cannot find module providing package gitlab.com/company/project/.vscode
exit status 1
Process exiting with code: 1
What can I do to fix it ?
Sounds like you're editing a file within your .vscode folder (e.g. the launch.json file you quoted) when you try to debug. Debug is relative to the file you have open (as you can see by the ${fileDirname} in your config). So the easiest fix is to make sure you have open the Go file you want to debug when you try to debug.
If you only ever want to debug one binary in your project, you can override the program setting in launch.json to always point at that package.

"actionssdk-smart-home-nodejs" debug with VSCode

I successfully installed the "actionssdk-smart-home-nodejs" and it works well if i launch it using the command "node index.js" within the folder "...actionssdk-smart-home-nodejs\smart-home-provider".
I need now to debug some part of the code, thus i tried to debug it using VS Code as editor and with the launch.json configured like
{
// Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
// Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.
// For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Launch Program",
"program": "${file}"
}
]
}
When i launch the debugger all seems to start fine, but when i use the Google Chrome browser to access the main page (http://localhost:3000/) i get as response only "Cannot GET /".
It seems like the static route defined in the file "smart-home-provider-cloud.js" app.use('/', express.static('./frontend'));
isn't matched.
So i can't figure out why launching without debugging all works fine and if a start the debugger express returns only "Cannot GET /".
I would be grateful for any help or clue for further investigation !
After long digging i found my issue. The config file for debugging was missing a config line.
