Vscode-cpptools: command 'extension.cppdbgAdapterExecutableCommand

Created on 25 Feb 2018 · 14Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-cpptools

I am using c/c++ 0.15.0 for debugging. But it shows error: "command 'extension.cppdbgAdapterExecutableCommand' not found." My launch.json is as follow:

{
"configurations": [

    {
        "name": "(gdb) Launch",
        "type": "cppdbg",
        "request": "launch",
        "program": "${workspaceFolder}/main.exe",
        "args": [],
        "stopAtEntry": false,
        "cwd": "$workspaceFolder}",
        "environment": [],
        "externalConsole": true,
        "MIMode": "gdb",
        "miDebuggerPath": "C:/MinGW/bin/gdb.exe",
        "setupCommands": [
            {
                "description": "Enable pretty-printing for gdb",
                "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
                "ignoreFailures": true
            }
        ]
    }
]

}

Could you please help me collect this error?

Try to uninstall extension and remove the extension folder from VSCode extensions directory (_ms-vscode.cpptools-0.15.0_) and install again. This works for me. :)

@LlorandoLau @DininduWanniarachchi

Which version of VsCode are you using?

Also, does this error occur if you first click on a .c/.cpp file then try to F5?

WardenGnaw on 26 Feb 2018

@DininduWanniarachchi @WardenGnaw I'm sorry to reply so late. I forgot to check it.

I have updated it after the error occured. And a new one showed as pictures followed:
default

You could see no c/c++ configuration is allowed. I have copied launch.json file which I have showed before under the .vscode folder. When try to F5, no reaction. By the way, the task could be built when try to Ctrl+shift+B.

@LlorandoLau the error is because something is happening to our registration in our package.json that happens when the extension is loaded. Can you provide your version of VSCode also?

@pieandcakes 1.20

@WardenGnaw But after done i provided process, it's worked for me.

@DininduWanniarachchi Can you go to your .vscode/extensions and zip up your ms-vscode.cpptools-* folder and post it here? I am hoping to reproduce your issue using the version you have installed.

Also, is there anything specific you are doing when you encounter this issue? E.g. Open VsCode and the only file it sees is a non-c or cpp file.

WardenGnaw on 2 Mar 2018

@WardenGnaw But this is working now. I have deleted my old extension and reinstalled. Attached one is working.

I remember that happened after i updated VSCode from previous version to this version.

ms-vscode.cpptools-0.15.0.zip

just ran into the same problem with this error and tried re-installing cpptools. Uninstalling worked but it was automatically reinstalled to version 0.16.0. Now, I no longer get the dreaded error but a new one: Unable to start debugging. UseShellExecute must be false when redirecting I/O.

Im running on Mac OS High Sierra and VSC 1.21.1 and all worked fine until I switched workspaces. Any ideas regarding the above error?

I've also tried installing 0.15 from above, but this didn't work either. At this point, I am unable to debug my C code.
