I am following that tutorial from the VScode team : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-wsl#_debug-helloworldcpp
I have run and built another c++ project. It compiles but the project kraches at runtime, so I decide to debug it.
So i want to debug and I use gdb as proposed by this good tutorial. When I execute the debugging with "F5", I have that 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": [
{
"name": "g++ build and debug active file",
"type": "cppdbg",
"request": "launch",
"program": "executable.out",
"args": [],
"stopAtEntry": true,
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"environment": [],
"externalConsole": false,
"MIMode": "gdb",
"setupCommands": [
{
"description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
"text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
"ignoreFailures": true
}
],
"preLaunchTask": "g++ build active file",
"miDebuggerPath": "/usr/bin/gdb"
}
]
}
I have modified the "program" section to put the name of my executable ( executable.out) , which is located in the "workspaceFolder"
So I don't understand the error message I get when I do "F5" :
launch : program "executable.out" does not exist
Could someone explain to me how to solve that ? I thought a lot before posting this question.
Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards
