In visual studio code, does launch.json file support "console" option to chose what kind of console to use with GDB, for example, internalConsole, integratedTerminal, externalTerminal?. Today by default application output is directed to external terminal..
launch.json supports the following option:
"externalConsole": true | false
Where:
true: outputs to an external terminal
false: outputs to the internal debug console
I haven't found an option for redirecting to the integrated terminal.

I'm working with OpenEdge Progress-4GL AppBuilder and Procedure Editor, and now I'd like to start working with the OpenEdge Debugger, release 11.6.
As found on quite some places on the internet, I've taken following actions to enable debugging of my Progress application:
Using Proenv, I've launched following command:
prodebugenable -enable-all
I get following response:
OpenEdge Release 11.6 as of Fri Oct 16 19:01:51 EDT 2015
==============================================================================
PROGRESS Debug Enabler
==============================================================================
Debugging is enabled for the Progress 4GL installed in
C:\PROGRE~1\OpenEdge.
For your information, some information on environment variables:
proenv>set DLC
DLC=C:\PROGRE~1\OpenEdge
proenv>set WRK
WRKDIR=C:\OPENED~1\WRK
proenv>set ENABLE_OPENEDGE_DEBUGGER
Environment variable ENABLE_OPENEDGE_DEBUGGER not defined
As far as my application is concerned, the application is based on a shortcut, which looks as follows:
C:\Progressx86\OpenEdge\bin\prowin32.exe
-basekey "INI"
-ininame c:\progress\our_application\progress.ini
-pf c:\progress\our_application\misc\run_our_application.pf
-p our_application.r
-rr
The file "run_our_application.pf" contains a list of entries, like the following:
-db our_DB
-H DC1
-N tcp
-S 6543
To the mentioned shortcut, I've added -debugReady 5001 in order to enable debugging, based on TCP portnumber 5001. When I launch the application, I get a warning message about this, and netstat -aon gives me following entry:
TCP 0.0.0.0:5001 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 11344
Where 11344 is confirmed as the prowin32 application.
In OpenEdge debugger, I've following entries in menu item "Edit", "Preferences", "Attachable":
C:\progress\our_application
Z:\Progress\our_application\PRG
C:\Progressx86\OpenEdge
For your information: The Z:-drive is an external server drive, Z:\Progress\our_application\PRG is the directory where files (*.w and *.p) get compiled into *.r files, the file our_application.r can be found there.
Nevertheless, when I open a *.w file and I go to the menu "Debug", the "Attach to Process" menu item stays disabled.
What can I do in order to debug my application/*.w file?
There are several ways of debugging. Start simple. You should be able to use any of the following:
from the procedure editor
Instead of selecting [ Compile / Run ], select [ Compile / Debug ]. The AVM will start executing the current file and the debugger will suspend execution on the first line.
from any alert-box
Add -debugalert to your startup parameters and every alert-box will display an additional 'Help' button. Clicking on it will show the stack-trace and a 'Debug' button. Clicking on that will start the debugger, execution is suspended at the line of the alert-box, this can be your own alert-box or an error.
stand-alone debugger
Start the debugger application (the Windows shortcut starts proDebugger.bat) and select [ Debug / Attach To Process... ] you can then either enter a PID or select a local running session (AVM).
remote attachable debugger
This is what you seem to be trying to setup - this allows you to attach the stand alone debugger (see option 3) to a process running on another machine, this can be useful when you have an AppServer or WebSpeed agent that you want to debug.
PDSOE debugger
Not relevant for you since you are not using Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, but just mentioning it for completeness. This allows adding break points in your source code by double clicking in the left margin and stepping through your source code instead stepping through a debug-listing.
Starting 2020-12-09, VSCode's Rust Analyzer extension no longer loads for me. On launch, it prints out this error message:
Cannot activate rust-analyzer: bootstrap error. See the logs in "OUTPUT > Rust Analyzer Client" (should open automatically). To enable verbose logs use { "rust-analyzer.trace.extension": true }
Enabling extension tracing produces the following diagnostic just before failing:
INFO [12/10/2020, 10:03:22 AM]: Using server binary at c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\matklad.rust-analyzer\rust-analyzer-windows.exe
DEBUG [12/10/2020, 10:03:22 AM]: Checking availability of a binary at c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\matklad.rust-analyzer\rust-analyzer-windows.exe
DEBUG [12/10/2020, 10:03:22 AM]: c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\matklad.rust-analyzer\rust-analyzer-windows.exe --version: {
status: 3221225506,
signal: null,
output: [ null, '', '' ],
pid: 1648,
stdout: '',
stderr: ''
}
where <user> is the name of the user account I use to log into the system1.
The status value reported in the error diagnostic (3221225506) translates to 0xC0000022 (STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED). Navigating to the binary from within VSCode's integrated terminal and trying to execute rust-analyzer-windows.exe --version doesn't produce any output, which seems to reinstate that running this executable from VSCode is somehow blocked.
It appears that something changed with respect to access rights executing the server binary from within VSCode. In between Rust Analyzer working and Rust Analyzer no longer working I didn't update Rust, nor rustup, nor VSCode, nor any extensions.
I did install 2020-12 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB4592438), though, and the time Rust Analyzer started failing coincides with the time the update got installed. That could literally just be a coincidence.
What additional steps can I take to get to the root cause of the issue, and how do I get Rust Analyzer working again?
Version information:
Rust Analyzer (stable): v0.2.408
Windows 10 Pro: Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042
VSCode: 1.51.1 (user setup)
1 This is also the user account VSCode runs under, including all of its spawned processes. Navigating to the path from a command prompt running under this account reveals that rust-analyzer-windows.exe is present, and executing rust-analyzer-windows.exe --version prints a version identifier, as expected.
Unfortunately, I didn't quite get to investigate the root cause of this.
A system reboot that was forced upon me appears to have restored World Peace.
Clearing proxy config works for me.
I'm not sure this covered all situation, but it might be related to the network.
I have installed WSL(Ubuntu on Windows) and gcc/gdb, and open a directory in Visual Studio Code, then click Debug Menu | add configuration, select C/C++:(gdb) Bash on
Windows launch, press F5，get the message:
Unable to start debugging, Unable to establish a connection to GDB, ...
output in debug console:
Starting: "C:\Windows\sysnative\bash.exe" "/usr/bin/gdb --interpreter=mi"
"C:\Windows\sysnative\bash.exe" exited with code -1 (0xFFFFFFFF).
I don't have enough points to leave a comment, but could you paste your
configuration in launch.json? One issue I have seen is that "/usr/bin/gdb --interpreter=mi" gets treated as single string instead of calling gdb with an extra flag. Updating my configuration with the following flag in pipeArgs fixed the error for me.
"configurations": [
...,
"pipeTransport": {
"debuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb",
...
"pipeArgs"; ["-c"],
}
]
I have a Makefile-powered project in Visual Studio 2010 (uses NAnt, in fact, but that's beside the point).
The output of the build process is a .elf file, and I have a separate, non-VStudio debugger which can be run on that .elf file to debug it.
Building works fine, but when I click the 'debug' button (little green triangle), VStudio fails with "Unable to start program 'XXX.elf'. The specified file is an unrecognized or unsupported binary format"
I'm guessing VStudio is just trying to 'run' the .elf as though it were an .exe, and failing.
What I really want VStudio to do is run "my_debugger.exe XXX.elf" when I press the debug button.
I have tried adding a file association with .elf=>my_debugger.exe
I have updated PATHEXT appropriately as well, and run VStudio under those changes.
Still no luck.
Isn't there somewhere in VStudio where you can specify a custom debug command? I thought there was, but can't find it.
I could just have the build process output a .bat file or something I guess, but this seems silly.
As Jim mentioned you can specify which app to start on run in the project settings (Command field). If you place a debugger there you can pass down your executable as an argument to the debugger being launched (Command Arguments field). This way you can launch the debugger which in turn will launch your executable if the debugger expects any commandline arguments.
MinGW on Windows example:
Command: gdb.exe; Command Arguments: Path\ToMyApp\whatever.exe
will start gdb.exe, gdb.exe will open whatever.exe, parse the debug info and wait for debug instructions.
Command: msys.exe; Command Arguments: gdb.exe Path\ToMyApp\whatever.exe
will start msys.exe, msys.exe will execute "gdb.exe Path\ToMyApp\whatever.exe"
Look at the project properties. Do you have a Debug tab which has a Start Action section giving three choices? Those choices would be: ( ) Start project, (x) Start external program: ... ( ) Start browser with URL.
You can also set the command line arguments and working directory.
Cf. How to: Change the Start Action for Application Debugging
I wrote following code
Debug.Listeners.Add(new TextWriterTraceListener(Console.Out));
Debug.AutoFlush = true;
Debug.Indent();
Debug.WriteLine("test");
Nothing is output in output window
What's wrong?
I use debug output in a slightly different way to your example:
Trace.Listeners.Clear();
DefaultTraceListener listener = new DefaultTraceListener();
Trace.Listeners.Add(listener);
Debugger.Log(1, "test", "oops i've crashed");
The debug output does go to the output window. Make sure that you are running as "debug" and not "release"
Also worth checking: right-click in the output window, and ensure "Program output" is checked.
Possible causes that I can think of:
Do you compile the application in DEBUG mode?
Do you run the application while debugging? Visual Studio has to listen to the application, and this is done when you are debugging the application.
Do you configure somewhere debug listeners?
