VSC debug start problem.

[simark1979]

I got the problem while starting debug in VSCode via ESP-IDF Debug Adapter
So when I lanch debug, debug not starting.
Step buttons disabled (see attachment)
OpenOCD and ESP-IDF Debug Adapter logs in attachment.

My lunch.json:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "espidf",
"name": "Launch",
"request": "launch",
"debugPort": 3333,
"logLevel": 2,
"mode": "auto",
}
]
}


Thank you!

I got solution.

Espressivf`s debug adapter for strange reason doesn`t starts on my machine.
Debuger via "Microsoft C/C++" extetion works, but buggy: works slow, starts randomly, need manual breakpoint add in the begin of app_main() function (tried to use "thb app_main" cmd, but it doesn`t work)

Thanks to Adam-U for the article at
https://github.com/Adam-U/ESP32_VSCode_Debug
At this moment only "Native Debug " works perfectly: fast, always starts.

Just add to launch.json:
And don`t forget start OpenOCD before launch.

By the way,
The default VSCode theme makes debugging line not visible.
To change color, use this property in settings


"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editor.lineHighlightBackground": "#44475a"
}
