vscode stopped debugging after apt upgrade

Post by cornleader »

I am having a problem with vscode. I've been working on a few C projects. After I did a linux update it stopped debugging. All my projects are effected. It won't stop on breakpoints nor will it run my program. My code does compile successfully and run from the terminal with no errors. I get a popup stating the following... launch: program 'xxx' does not exist where xxx is the name of my executable.

Now before I start posting all my json files, I was wondering what could cause a perfectly working debugging environment to stop working on all projects with no changes to my json files, i just updated my packages. They were all working fine. Every one of my many C projects were debugging, running and all my breakpoints worked.

This isn't the first time this happened. It stops debugging with the launch: program 'xxx' does not exist popup, then a few days later it works again after an update.

Well it looks like my own stupidity struck again! I deleted my launch.json file and it now works as it should. Guess I should do some more reading on the launch.json file.
